POLOKWANE – As with most African cuisines, Moroccan cuisine is unique as it combines a mix of Mediterranean, Arabic, Andalusian, and most importantly, Berber cuisine with a tiny European and Subsaharian influence.
Spices are used extensively in Moroccan food. Although some spices have been imported to Morocco through the Arabs for thousands of years, many ingredients are home-grown, and are being exported internationally.
