About Njahi
Njahi, also known as black beans or dolichos lablab, is a nutrient-rich legume commonly used in Kenyan cuisine. Recognized for its firm texture and earthy flavor, it is a staple in traditional dishes, often paired with rice, maize, or fresh vegetables. Njahi is packed with protein, dietary fiber, and complex carbohydrates, making it an excellent plant-based source of energy and satiety. It is also rich in essential nutrients like iron, potassium, magnesium, and B vitamins, supporting overall health and vitality. Njahi's high fiber content aids digestion and promotes gut health, while its low fat and cholesterol levels make it heart-friendly. However, the beans should be cooked properly, as they contain natural toxins when raw. With its diverse nutritional profile and versatility, Njahi is a wholesome addition to any balanced diet, cherished for its contribution to both traditional meals and modern health-conscious dishes.
