I would like a list of: Vegetables and Fruits found in Africa. Not just cultivated ones, ones that just grow naturally as well. Spices etc. would be nice as well. I am very interested in this but have yet to find a very good source of information. =) Any help at all would be wonderful.

Commonly grown plants that originated in Africa include the peanut, Okra, bananas, watermelons, cotton, geraniums, amaryllis flower bulbs, and the yam which is a close relative of the sweet potato. I think the rubber tree is from there as well, but I am not absolutely certain. Papyrus from which we got our first paper was a reed that grew in the swamps lining the Nile river in ancient times, but I think it no longer grows there. I can't think of any more right now, but I hope that helps.
If you are talking about what could be grown there, (imported from other places), then the list is almost limitless. For instance, almost all of the world's chocolate or cacao beans are grown in Africa, although this plant originated in South America.

Fruits have seeds; "vegetable" is a non-scientific word for cultivated edibles
