banana
Matoke is a starchy triploid banana cultivar originating from the African Great Lakes. The fruit is harvested green, carefully peeled, and then cooked and often mashed or pounded into a meal. In Uganda and Rwanda, the fruit is steam-cooked, and the mashed meal is considered a national dish in both countries.
Matoke bananas are a staple food crop in Uganda, Tanzania, and other Great Lakes countries. They are also known as the Mutika/Lujugira subgroup.
