Product Description

Every Motswana knows morogo wa dinawa. Fewer of us have the afternoon it traditionally takes. The leaves are boiled for an hour or two, pounded soft, spread out to sun dry, and then soaked and cooked again when you want them. It is a beautiful process and an inconvenient one. This is that dish made instant. Ready to eat, in the original creamy flavour, in a 50g sachet you can keep in a desk drawer or a hostel room. Morogo wa dinawa is made from the dried leaves of the cowpea plant, which has fed this region for centuries and grows through poor soil and unreliable rain. It is listed on the Slow Food Ark of Taste, an international register of foods worth protecting, because consumption has been falling and the local cowpea varieties behind it are under real pressure. Made with sustainable produce. 50g.
