Jollof Rice is a Bride of every occasion in Africa especially the west African countries (Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Senegal and Gambia). Jollof rice is to West Africa what Paella is to Spain, Risotto to Italy, Biriyani to India and Fried rice to China.

Is a delicacy that much celebrated among the Africans people both home and diaspora in weddings, Naming ceremonies, Birthday parties, House warming, Anniversaries, e.t.c.

Jollof Rice presents a sumptuous aroma with good looking that could attract people to eat. And it has generated a lot of argument among African people as to where is the actual origin. But some researchers said that the origins of Jollof rice can be traced to the 1300s in the ancient Wolof Empire (also called the Jolof Empire), which spanned parts of today's Senegal, The Gambia and Mauritania. The farmers in this area are predominantly Rice farmers.

The word JOLLOF is derived from Wolof and initially called Thieboudienne, which is prepared with Rice, Fish, Shellfish and Vegetables. It was assumed that some of the Wolof people later migrated to other part of Africa and this delicious dish began to spread across the continent.
