One of the perks of raining season in Nigeria is the fact that you can find these small snails around your vicinity at any time. During this season the bigger and fresher because the atmosphere is moist and cold especially when it rains. I remember when we were kids, we will go to small Bush parts where we know is cool and moist and we would gather many snails whether big or small. In the end we would come home and prepare them by using fresh pepper to stir fry them
Again, snails are cheaper in the market to buy during the rainy period because they are in abundance unlike the dry season when they are expensive and difficult to come by. I only look forward to eating snails when it is raining because they are much bigger and sweeter due to the weather effect on them. It can depend on a persons preference as there are small snails and there are big ones.
Asides from the fact that snails are sweet and delicious, they have various health benefits that are sufficient for the human body one of such benefits is that it is very high in protein as it helps to keep the body stronger. Another interesting health benefits that comes with eating snails is that it helps to prevent anemia and boost our person's energy . This means that it is a high source of iron which is necessary for a body system to have healthy blood circulation.
Snails are common in Africa because we have a kind of weather they need to survive. In other words, snails are a popular delicacy that is used in different varieties such as prepared snail, snail stew, it can also be use d in soups as it adds flavor and aroma to the food.
