Q: Which African foods are staples in African American kitchens today? A: "When Africans were being transported to America, some had the foresight to grab a few seeds and hide them in their hair before boarding the ship. It is for this reason that foods like the watermelon, okra, blackeyed peas, peanuts and yams are seen in America. The African slaves also invented Gumbo." http://africanancestry.com
