About Matoke
Matoke, also known as green banana, is a staple food originating from East African cuisine, particularly popular in Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania. It is made from unripe, starchy bananas that are peeled, steamed, and mashed, often served as a base for stews or accompanied by vegetables and meat. Rich in complex carbohydrates, Matoke is a great source of energy, while also being low in fat and cholesterol-free. It contains potassium, which supports heart health, and dietary fiber that promotes digestion. Additionally, it provides vitamin C for immune support and some B vitamins for energy metabolism. However, its nutritional value can vary depending on preparation methods; adding excessive oil, salt, or creamy sauces may increase calorie content and reduce its health benefits. Overall, Matoke is a versatile, nutrient-dense dish that fits well into a balanced diet.
