Fruits and spices, wonder of this land

Flavors, aromas, exotic, sweetness and health

14-12-2014 by redazione

There' no use in denying it, the fruits of Kenya are one of the great pleasures of this land.
It is not in fact easy to find in nature delights of the palate which are also beneficial for our body and for the body.
Of course, like all things that are good, you have to make a conscious use and finding the right ones for each one, which combine the pleasure of taste and smell, the digestibility (which varies from stomach ache) and needs, tolerability or not.
Since the days of the first landings on the coast of Kenya, this was also one of the spice kingdoms.
Once they were even more precious because they served to store food, like salt.
Today many of the spices we use in Malindi and surroundings, unfortunately coming from the east, but the kitchen does not swahili can do without.
Fruits and spices, we learn about the many varieties available, the infinite possibilities of use in the kitchen and their amazing health benefits.
