Food is a basic necessity. Man therefore keeps finding new ways to make food accessible. Decades ago, we moved from a system of exchanging goods for goods (trade-by-barter) to a monetized system all in a bid to increase the value of what we purchase. But the process has never been easier, as technology now fosters simple transactions that can be done online to acquire food and groceries. We now have e-commerce websites that make online food purchase possible. In fact, the last few years have seen an increase in the number of food websites in Nigeria, all ensuring that food is acquired in an uncomplicated manner. Here is a list of some of them below:
