The launching of FAO’s Traditional Crop of the Month with amaranth, just announced on Twitter, reminds me that I was going to post a couple of photos showing how much the crop is being used nowadays in Kenya. These show that terere leaves are used — along with other stuff — to fortify maize meal, which is used to make ugali, the main staple food around here for many people. I took the pix in a supermarket in Lavington, an upscale residential area, and they represent two different brands of unga. Just look under ingredients.
