Food

The food in Afghanistan is delicious, healthful, and bursting with flavor. Afghanistan's distinctive flavor characteristics are among the experts' favorites because they are neither either sweet nor overly spicy.

Afghan food reflects the variety of cultures present in the country. Rice, barley, wheat, and maize are grown as staple crops in Afghanistan. Many Afghan kitchens are dominated by rice, and the "Kabuli palaw," a regional rice dish, is regarded as Afghanistan's national meal.

Afghan cuisine also includes a lot of meat, especially lamb and beef. A common food throughout the nation, roasted lamb kebabs may be found on many street vendor carts. Alcohol drinking is uncommon in Afghanistan because it is an Islamic country, and it is mostly seen among expats residing in big cities like Kabul. The "doogh," a popular beverage in the nation prepared with yogurt, water, and mint, is a local favorite. The beverage can be made at home or bought in eateries and grocers.
