About Mokimo
Mokimo is a traditional Kenyan dish made from a hearty blend of mashed potatoes, green vegetables (like spinach or pumpkin leaves), and maize or beans. Sometimes it features added onions or spices for enhanced flavor. Rooted in Kikuyu cuisine, Mokimo is commonly served alongside meat dishes, stews, or enjoyed on its own. Its nutrient profile is rich with energy-boosting carbohydrates from the potatoes and maize, alongside a dose of vitamins, fiber, and minerals contributed by the vegetables. Protein content varies depending on the beans or maize incorporated into the dish. Mokimo is considered a wholesome, filling choice, though its healthiness hinges on preparation. Limiting added fats like oil or butter keeps it lighter. Its simplicity and reliance on natural ingredients align with balanced eating, making it ideal for a nourishing meal option in many Kenyan households.
