Matooke

Matooke is one of Uganda's most important agricultural products and a staple food throughout East Africa. Harvested while green, the bananas are steamed, boiled, mashed, or roasted to prepare traditional meals. Matooke is rich in dietary fiber, potassium, vitamins, and carbohydrates, making it a nutritious source of energy. Ugandan matooke is highly valued for its premium quality, uniform fingers, and excellent cooking characteristics. It is supplied to local markets, supermarkets, restaurants, and regional export destinations.
