NaijaBasket UK was born out of a very real frustration — and a very real need.
I'm Felicia — a Physician Associate, Biomedical Scientist, Fellow of the Royal Society of Public Health, and a mum based in Chatham, Kent.
For years, I made the same journey that thousands of African and Caribbean families across Kent make every week — a long drive to London just to buy garri, palm oil, stockfish, or plantain. The ingredients that make our food taste like home. The ingredients that connect us to our culture.
But as a clinician, I also saw something else. I saw patients — many from African and Caribbean backgrounds — managing conditions like high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and menopause. And I noticed that the conversation about food was often missing. Not because they didn't care. But because the right African ingredients, chosen with their health in mind, simply weren't accessible locally.
So I built NaijaBasket UK.
Not just another African grocery delivery service. But a clinician-curated platform that brings authentic Nigerian and African groceries to your door — with health at the heart of every box.
Every health subscription box is curated using my clinical knowledge and understanding of how African ingredients interact with chronic conditions. The Diabetic Friendly Box. The Blood Pressure Support Box. The Menopause Relief Box. Each one is thoughtfully assembled — not just for taste, but for your wellbeing.
Because you shouldn't have to choose between your culture and your health.
