Foods Our Ancestors Ate That We Should Go Back To 1. Sweet potatoes Si kila siku mkate. Once in a while boil some sweet potatoes & have them with tea 2. Bitter greens/Mboga kienyeji I was told these use less pesticides compared to sukuma wiki & spinach so why not lean more to this side 3. Green bananas Y'all remember we used to boil these with potatoes to make mukimo? Alafu unaongeza kanyama... Mautamu tu! 4. Pumpkin Hapa even for me it's tricky but do as I say not as I do 5. Cassava & Yams (Ikwa) I remember the days I used to go to the farm kuchimba hizi vitu. We used to hate on Ikwa coz it was so hard. Now that I think about it, that stew used to slap 6. Fermented Porridge This used to be a staple at any event hosted by our grandparents. These days no one makes it. The real Grandparents need to come back Alafu mniamibe where you get sweet potatoes that aren't rotten inside.

They’re not ranked in any particular order. #highproteinmeals #proteinsources #F
