Benefits of consuming Sukuma Wiki

Sukuma wiki is a common dish in Kenya which is made with collard greens.

The meal is often eaten with ugali (made from maize flour).

The meal is common not only in Kenya but also in Tanzania, and Uganda.

The phrase 'sukuma wiki' means to "push the week" or "stretch the week".

The availability of the vegetable and its affordable cost birthed the phrase as many people could use it more often when they could not afford other forms of meals.
