Other types of sadza in zimbabwe

Sadza is the cornerstone of Zimbabwean food.The most popular is the white sadza made from finely grounded maize meal.There is also sadza rezviyo made from rapoko,this has a very deep brown colour.it is cooked like the white sadza and is served with meat stew or vegetable relish.sadza remhunga is made from grounded bulrush millet.it has a very nice smelland a light brown colour.Some even eat it alone without any meat or vegetables.There is also sadza remapfunde made from grounded sorghum.Mapfunde can be coarsely grounded and cooked to make rice ,this is boiled in salted water with oil.it is my favourite.These meals are found in supermarkets packed in 500g or 1kg packets and are highly expensive.Cheap meals can be found at Mbare musika market.These types of sadza are mostly eaten in rural areas and because the Zimbabwean cuisine is influenced by the british "former colonies" and a change is taking place and the art of traditional food is being lost ,people living in the city hardly eat traditional food.Though mhunga,zviyo and mapfunde meals are expensive they are highly nutritious.
