About Sukuma
Sukuma, commonly known as collard greens, is a nutrient-dense leafy vegetable widely consumed in East African cuisine, particularly in Kenya and Tanzania. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, Sukuma supports immune function, bone health, and skin vitality. It is also a good source of fiber, aiding digestive health, and contains essential minerals such as calcium and iron. Typically served sautéed with onions, tomatoes, and spices, Sukuma is a staple side dish often paired with ugali, a maize flour porridge. Its low calorie content makes it ideal for weight management, while its antioxidants offer protection against inflammation and chronic diseases. However, excessive cooking can reduce its nutrient levels, and adding too much oil or salt during preparation might diminish its healthfulness. Known for its affordability and versatility, Sukuma is a cornerstone of balanced diets in its native regions.
