Sadza and derere (okra). This classic pairing is not only a staple of our national cuisine, but it's also a nutritional powerhouse that should be celebrated. Our beloved sadza is a carbohydrate that provides sustained energy to fuel your body; and the humble derere that accompanies it is packed with essential vitamins, minerals and fiber. Together, sadza and derere make a complete, balanced meal that nourishes you from the inside out. The slow-releasing carbs in the sadza combined with the antioxidants, folate and magnesium in the okra make this dish a nutritional gold mine. Not to mention, it's absolutely delicious! The savory, slightly tangy okra relish complements the starchy sadza perfectly, creating a flavour explosion in your mouth.
