Pineapples, bananas, avocados, limes, garlic, peanuts, aubergines (eggplants) and corn are all grown. Fish is popular and plentiful, and a main source of protein.

Food for a Gabon Themed Party
The cuisine of Gabon is one of the most varied in Africa. Fresh fruit and vegetables are in plentiful supply, as are both fresh and saltwater fish. Dishes using letils and other pulses
are very popular. Cucumbers, manioc leaves and tubers, and rice are also frequently used.
A typical main meal consists of rice, fufu or manioc served with a stew or soup. Vegetables such as spinach, onion, tomatoes, peppers and squashes are common,
and dishes are flavoured with peanuts, chillies and garlic. Thanks to its tropical climate, a large variety of different fruits grow in Gabon, including bananas, papayas, guavas, coconuts, citrus fruits and pineapples.

Drink for a Gabonese Party
Fruit juices, as you might expect, are in plentiful supply, and grapefruit and pineapple are particularly abundant and popular, as is coconut milk. Locally produced beers are available,
although not easy to get hold of outside of Gabon. The best known local brand is probably Regab.
