Tanzania

Tanzanian cuisine is diverse and flavourful, heavily influenced by local ingredients and the country’s rich cultural heritage. Staples include ugali, a thick maize porridge served with various stews, and sukuma wiki, sautéed greens typically made from collard greens. Coastal regions feature seafood prominently, with dishes like sambusa (savory pastries) and zanzibar biryani, a fragrant rice dish with spices and meat. Fresh fruits and spices are abundant, reflecting the country’s agricultural wealth and the influence of Indian and Arab flavors, making Tanzanian food both vibrant and varied.
