    This document discusses the cuisine typical of Juba, South Sudan. It begins by noting that a population's diet is influenced by their culture and environment. In Juba, the climate is hot with seasonal rainfall, favoring crops that can tolerate those conditions like millet and wheat. The region is also located along the Nile River and surrounding waterways, providing a source of fish. As such, a common dinner in Juba includes kajaik stew made with dried fish and served with aseeda porridge made from sorghum. The population is also predominantly Muslim, influencing their communal style of eating with the right hand. In conclusion, a region's location, climate, culture and environment all shape the foods commonly

    Juba in South Sudan and their Cuisine

    Diet is an integral part of everyone’s life. People’s dietary habits represent their cultural

    civilization and in most cases what is available, and accessible regarding economic and

    environmental factors. Due to geographical and cultural diversity, the Sudanese cuisine is

    diverse. Environmental factors are the significant determinants of the type of food most people

    within a particular geographic area consume. This paper discusses a dinner menu favorable for a

    person in Juba city of South Sudan (Embassy of the Republic of Sudan2018).

    The location of Juba city is on the southern side of South Sudan. In this region, the

    climate is hot and has seasonal rainfall which does not favor perennial crops and only favor crops

    which are sustainable in the tropical environment such as wheat and millet (Global Security.Org,

    2018). Moreover, this region is located along river Nile and is surrounded by other rivers, lakes,

    and swamps which are significant sources of fish. Thus, a suitable menu for dinner in Juba South

    Sudan includes Kajaik a stew prepared with dried fish. The people serve the stew with Aseeda, a

    common type of porridge in South Sudan (Embassy of the Republic of Sudan2018). The oatmeal

    is made from sorghum and for flavor purposes by adding natural margarine. Islam religion which

    influences their culture dominates South Sudan population wise. For instance, they serve their

    foods and eat communally in large trays with their right hand and not the left hand. Global

    purchase of the food staff is not easy because these foods are culturally grown in this region

    (Embassy of the Republic of Sudan2018).

    In conclusion, location, climate, culture, movements, human and environmental factors

    mainly influence the type of food consumed in a particular region. Food in many parts of South

    Sudan is predominantly Traditional and straightforward and revolves around millet, wheat, and

    fish. The main reason behind such food is the environmental conditions in this country.
