About Bean katogo

Bean Katogo is a traditional Ugandan dish celebrated for its simplicity and nutritional value. A one-pot meal, it primarily consists of beans stewed with green plantains, though variations may include sweet potatoes or cassava. This staple is deeply rooted in East African cuisine, reflecting the region's reliance on locally sourced ingredients. Beans, a key component, are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential micronutrients like iron and magnesium. The green plantains contribute vitamins A and C, providing energy and aiding digestion. While Bean Katogo is naturally low in fat, its health profile can vary depending on additional ingredients like cooking oil or meat, which are sometimes incorporated for flavor. A hearty and wholesome dish, Bean Katogo offers a balanced combination of carbohydrates and proteins, making it both a comforting and nourishing choice for many across Uganda and beyond.
