We rarely think about where our food comes from, but in Rwanda, you might be growing your own food or have gotten it fresh from an outdoor market. I took these photos of cassava, bananas and coffee in Nyamasheke. Americans generally don’t eat cassava. It’s kind of like a blander potato. Thais love them! Bananas are everywhere in Rwanda, come in many varieties and people here eat them in many different ways. As for me, I generally stick to the Cavendish banana for breakfast as many Americans do. Rwandans are not coffee drinkers and prefer water or tea. Coffee is a cash crop. Someone told me that farmers can get 10,000 Rwandan francs (about $10) for a kilo of dried coffee beans, which is considered good money. The coffee bean is inside a little ball like a small grape.
