About Kenyan bean
Kenyan Beans, commonly known as njahi, are a staple in Kenyan cuisine, celebrated for their rich flavor and nutritional value. These brownish-black legumes are packed with protein, making them an excellent meat alternative for vegetarians. High in fiber, they promote digestion and support heart health by lowering cholesterol levels. Kenyan Beans also boast essential vitamins and minerals such as iron, magnesium, and potassium, which aid in energy production and maintaining healthy muscle function. Their complex carbohydrates provide sustained energy, making them ideal for active lifestyles. While njahi is a nutritious powerhouse, it’s worth noting that overconsumption might lead to bloating due to their fiber content. Traditionally, they are enjoyed in stews alongside vegetables and spices, or mashed and served with chapati or rice. Njahi remains a cherished ingredient that balances taste, tradition, and wellbeing in Kenyan households.
