The cultivation and use of many agricultural products in the U.S., such as yams, peanuts, rice, okra, sorghum, grits, watermelon, indigo dyes, and cotton, can be traced to African and African American influences.

Soul food, a hearty cuisine commonly associated with African Americans in the South (but also common among blacks in the North), makes creative use of inexpensive products procured through farming and subsistence hunting and fishing. Pig intestines are boiled and sometimes battered and fried to make “chitterlings,” or "chitlins." Ham hocks and neck bones provide seasoning to soups; beans and boiled turnip, collard and mustard greens. Other common foods, such as fried chicken and fish, cornbread and “hoppin’ John,” (black-eyed peas and rice), are prepared simply.
