Nigerians prepare their meals in a manner that makes them taste nice. There are many popular Nigerian foods that you probably grew up eating and are still prepared by your family today.



One of the advantages of Nigerian cuisine is that you don’t need an expensive ingredient to prepare a very delicious meal.

However, not all Nigerian cuisines are good for your health so here are 7 popular Nigerian foods that can have a negative impact on your body.



1. Fried Plantain
Fried plantain tastes great and is one of the favourites for all ages in Nigeria.

It can be used as a component for dozen of dishes such as rice, beans, indomie, potato, and many others.

However, frying plantain in a great quantity of oil makes it a far less healthy dish than it should be.

This is because Plantain has a large amount of sugar that can result in more serious side effects.

In a healthy way, use plantain in your cooking by boiling it or grilling it with little oil.

2. White Rice
Everybody in Nigeria loves eating rice, in fact, is considered one of the common staples in Nigerian cuisine.

White Rice can be served with all kinds of sauces and it’s the major component of another Nigerian classic, Jollof rice, and fried rice.

Generally, Rice can be good in moderation, but consuming it every day means you are storing your body with refined carbohydrates which are not really good for your health and can lead to unwanted weight gain.
