Matoke is a staple dish in Ugandan cuisine made from unripe green bananas. The bananas are peeled and then steamed or boiled until soft, after which they are mashed into a smooth, starchy consistency. Matoke can be served as a side dish or as the main ingredient in stews, soups, and curries. It is a staple food for many Ugandans and is often served with rice, beans, or other vegetables. Matoke is highly valued for its low glycemic index and its ability to provide sustained energy, making it a popular choice for athletes and manual laborers. Additionally, matoke is rich in fiber, potassium, and vitamin C.
