Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Original Kaneshie Market different from other African grocery stores?
We focus on authenticity, freshness, and cultural integrity. Every product — from kenkey and gari to palm oil, spices, and prepared meals — is sourced from trusted West African suppliers, local markets, and small producers.
We ensure our products taste just like home by choosing real brands, real ingredients, and real traditional preparation methods.
How do you ensure your products are fresh and high-quality?
We work closely with suppliers and importers who specialize in African foods. Many items are freshly milled, harvested, or prepared before shipping.
We avoid old stock, reject low-grade imports, and regularly rotate inventory to ensure customers receive only fresh, flavorful products.
Are your products authentic and culturally accurate?
Absolutely. Everything we stock — kenkey, attieke, palm oil, seasonings, flours, teas, and more — is the same food our communities grew up with.
We carry trusted brands like Ghana Fresh, Oloye, HomeFresh, Indomie, African King, Satomi Foods, and many others.
What are your sustainability or ethical sourcing practices?
We prioritize:
- Fair relationships with suppliers
- Respect for cultural production methods
- Supporting small-scale producers
- Reducing waste through efficient packaging and shipping
Our focus is always on responsible sourcing and community impact.
Do you carry organic products?
Many of our items are naturally grown using traditional farming practices, even if they are not formally certified organic.
We always aim for clean, real, and minimally processed ingredients — no unnecessary additives.
Where do you ship?
