Plants

The plants that Sahara Sahel Foods works with are naturally drought-tolerant, native perennial crops. We keep their genetics intact, encouraging the preservation of biodiversity. All of these foods have been eaten in the past. But after centuries and millennia of use, there consumption has often become neglected in modern times. Sahara Sahel Foods is here to help you rediscover them!
