This is an informational packet filled with a variety of plants that those of the African diaspora enjoy. Specifically Black Americans and African immigrants/ refugees.

Each page shares a bit of scientific info, its uses, images, etc. It’s not exhaustive information, but more of a starting point for getting to know these plants.
