Indigenous foods have always been about sustenance and nourishment, but over the years, knowledge has largely depreciated leaving little to no knowledge of these foods. Indigenous foods relate to food crops found in specific places and known to be nutritious and able to fight disease. Nutrients such as protein, fat, calcium, carbohydrates, and various vitamins are found in indigenous foods, but due to modernisation people are led to perceive indigenous foods as inferior (Faber, Oelofse, Van Jaarsveld, Wenhold & Van Rensburg, 2010: 32). In addition, food preparation and processing methods affect the nutrients they hold. Indigenous foods play a significant role in food security for most African populations, and South Africa is no exception. South Africa's range of indigenous foods crops is quite extensive; however, urbanisation has affected the way people grow and consume foods in both rural and peri-urban areas. The study intended to address these issues, with its main objective being to determine the food consumption patterns of peri-urban and rural residents in JohannesburgA quantitative approach was used with self-administered questionnaires given to 208 participants within the peri-urban and rural areas of Soweto and Lenasia South. The questionnaires were handed out randomly within the chosen areas with the assistance of fieldworkers. The main findings showed that there was a reduction in the consumption of indigenous foods from rural to urban areas. People who had moved from rural to urban areas have adopted modern cash crops into their diet and reduced or stopped consuming indigenous foods. This left a gap in the knowledge of indigenous foods, as it is not passed on from generation to generation, specifically the high nutrient content, of which most people are unawareThe findings from this research could assist in alleviating poverty and malnutrition in South Africa. By having a better understanding and knowledge of indigenous foods and the nutrients it holds, schools, poor areas and hospices can incorporate these into their menus. They would have the knowledge to grow the indigenous foods as well as knowledge on knowing which foods contain which nutrients. The study recommends that indigenous foods be produced and sold in more outlets, as well as implemented in feeding programmes so that individuals become more knowledgeable.
