MATOKE

Latin Name: Musa spp.
Other Comercial Names: Banana, Bananier Nain, Canbur, Curro, Plantain

Matoke is a meal consisting of steamed green plantain and is one of the national dishes of Uganda. Due to a lack of customary banana texture and sweetness, matokes are used for cooking rather than being eaten fresh. In southern Uganda, it was so widely used that it is now recognized and eaten all over the country.

While uncooked, the matoke is white and fairly hard, cooking turns it soft and yellow. The matoke is then mashed while still wrapped in the leaves and often served on a fresh leaf. It is customarily eaten with a sauce made of vegetables, ground peanut, or some type of meat.

Selection criteria:	Matoke must be full green, large, and in clusters.
Periods when cultivated:	Year-round
Transport:	By air in 9, 10 and 20 Kg boxes.
