This 1 hour lesson introduces students to the rich and diverse cuisine of Nigeria while exploring the nutritional benefits of an African diet. Through discussion, activities, and group work, students will learn about key Nigerian staple foods such as yams, plantains, beans, and rice, and their role in maintaining a balanced diet.
The lesson includes a thought-provoking starter task, a nutrient-matching activity, and a collaborative group exercise where students analyse the ingredients and health benefits of popular Nigerian dishes. Comparisons are made between Nigerian and British diets to encourage deeper thinking about global food choices and nutrition.
