Tasting foods prepared to enhance family nutrition


We have successfully completed nutrition seminars with selectedWakulima Dairy members. Include in the seminar was tasting githeri prepared by pre-soaking beans to reduce anti-nutrients, tasting chapatis prepared with added mashed pumpkin to enhance Vitamin A and other nutrients, and a taste of 'spinach' prepared using a mixture of drought tolerant Traditional Leafy Green vegetables. Everyone was delighted and suprised by the good flavours of the food. I am looking forward to the follow-up survey in January to see if this knowledge is in practice. More story to follow when I deal with some minor computer challenges!
