Cuisine, Culture & History of Asia
Afghani food has evolved around the country's primary agricultural crops - wheat, maize, barley and rice.

The cuisine diversity in Afghanistan reflects its ethnic, cultural and geographic differences. Although there are commonalities with neighboring countries such as India and Pakistan, Afghan foods are demonstrably different and have long been renowned as a flavorsome cuisine form.
