Atlanta has one of the larger Nigerian communities in the United States, and the food follows the people. Finding jollof is easy. Finding the snacks you actually grew up eating is harder.
The usual routes
Most people end up in one of three places:
- African and international grocers. The corridor along Buford Highway and the suburbs north-east of the city are where most African grocery shopping happens. Stock varies week to week, and packaged plantain snacks come and go.
- A relative's suitcase. Reliable, delicious, and entirely dependent on someone else's travel plans.
- Ordering online. Consistent, but shipping food from Nigeria to a US address is slow and expensive.
The shorter route
We keep Adún Foods plantain clusters in stock here in metro Atlanta, which removes the waiting entirely.
- Free pickup in Chamblee, GA. Order online, choose Pickup at checkout, and we email you the exact address when your order is ready — usually within 24 hours. There is no minimum and no fee.
- US shipping. We ship anywhere in the country via USPS Ground Advantage, charged at the real carrier price with nothing added on top.
What we carry
Two flavours, in 200 g bags: Original, which is sweet and lightly salted, and Spicy, which carries a dried chili heat. Both come in 4, 6 and 10-bag packs if you are buying for a household, an office or a party — and at $6.70 a bag, the 10-pack is the cheapest way to buy them.
A note for people outside Atlanta
Pickup only makes sense if you are nearby. Everyone else, shipping is the same clusters in the same bags, usually on your doorstep within the week.
