Customs & Cuisine of Rwanda CUISINE OF RWANDA The cuisine of Rwanda is largely influenced by African cuisine. Dishes are simple, with few ingredients and aromatics, and they rely on locally grown vegetables and readily available proteins, making the food truly farm-to-table and local. It is fairly uncommon for Rwandans to eat breakfast. While coffee is cultivated in Rwanda, it is a cash crop and has been traditionally saved for exports. Young expats who are recent transplants to Rwanda have spearheaded setting up cafés that have made coffee consumption accessible to Rwandans. “African coffee,” an espresso and chocolate concoction with ginger and milk, is popular among the young set. https://lnkd.in/gWnHTMXJ.
