About Sukuma wiki
Sukuma Wiki is a nutritious green vegetable dish popular in East African cuisine, particularly in Kenya and Tanzania. The name translates to "push the week" in Swahili, highlighting its role as an affordable staple to stretch meals. It is traditionally made with collard greens or other leafy greens, sautéed with onions, tomatoes, and occasional seasonings. Packed with vitamins A, C, and K, alongside calcium, iron, and dietary fiber, Sukuma Wiki supports eye health, bone strength, and digestion. Low in calories and cholesterol, it’s an excellent option for maintaining a balanced diet. Typically paired with ugali, a cornmeal side, it serves as a hearty and wholesome accompaniment. While generally healthy, excessive oil or salt in preparation may reduce its nutritional benefits, making moderate use of seasoning ideal. Sukuma Wiki embodies the simplicity and healthfulness of East African cooking, offering both flavor and sustenance.
