Myths About Ugali, Rice & Wheat

[Slim_fit]

All modern grains are crap to your body. Stay away from them.

Adapt and survive. The samolina makes good ugali, but you’ll be disappointed if you let the water boil and pour in all the flour you need at once-it won’t mix smoothly, it’ll dry fast and you get a lumpy mess. The trick is to continously pour a light trickle of flour into boiling water, as though making porridge, stirring (NB: round and round) all the time until it thickens. Then, and only then, can you cook it as ugali. It’s light and fast, but great with a stew of yo choice:D
Bon appetit.

Kapsaa. We love it here except hubby who is always comparing it with his Mum’s ngima hapo Kinyona - Murang’a Counday…made from maize from the local posho meal:D.

STAY AWAY from oats if you hope to lose any weight. They are a mass gainer.

Woow…pls suggest some breakfast options other than fruits, yoghurt, toasted bread. I have consumed a whole drum of the oats porridge in the last one month na sioni matokeo kumbe?

It’s incomparable, nothing beats ugali ya posho mill, but you eat what you can get.

Eti Ugali ni chakula nzito ama sijui Iko na nguvu. It’s all in the mind.

Fact is Rice and Wheat have higher calorific value than maize meal (Ugali).

The thing that maize can outdo wheat and rice is that whole corn meal takes more time to breakdown in the digestive system (kushika tumbo).

Wheat and rice have fed civilizations for millennia, maize on the other hand is pretty recent having been domesticated from it’s wild cousins in Mesoamerica just centuries ago.

When I landed in the US I had these issue at first. Unapata supper tunaserviwa waffles or pancakes with syrup, apples, yogurt, eggs, sausage, bacon, or cereal. Na sometimes burgers and I was like nitakula mkate nilale mimi :D. So I had to order wings kama 10 hivi ndio “nishibe”. On weekends we used to come together as Kenyans alafu madame wanapika Ugali (ya yellow juu kupata white flour ni ngumu) na sisi tunagrill a whole lot of meats and then we have a “real” meal. It was so nice and acted as a bonding session too. Over time, Ugali became “tasteless” and we had to abandon it altogether. Nowadays we do dine ins in Mexican restaurants or visit Kenyan restaurants once in while where we eat “serious” meals.
