Let's all learn about the importance of eating Githeri.

THE UNIQUE BENEFITS OF EATING GITHERI REGULARLY

Githeri is a common delicacy for people from central parts of the country, but many people all over the country have embraced the culture of consuming it. It has become a common meal in many households in urban settings.

Why do you mix maize and beans when preparing githeri?

The answer is simple, beans and maize are cooked together in order to complete the protein.

Beans alone are incomplete proteins because they are low in one key amino acid (amino acids are used by the body to build protein) called methionine. Cereal grains including maize, rice and wheat are high in methionine yet lack another amino acid found in beans.

So if you eat beans with a grain such as maize or rice, your body gets all the essential amino acids it needs to build quality protein. Thus, two incomplete proteins become complete when they get together.

Here are 5 nutritional benefits of githeri.

🟧1. Whole grains

Githeri is made of whole beans and maize/corn thus making it a very healthy meal.

There is no processed products in githeri making it more healthy than most of the foods we eat.

🟧2.Protein

We get complete proteins when we consume githeri. The proteins are essential in repair of worn out tissue and promote growth of hair and nails

Beans are also a source of a host of minerals useful to the body.

🟧3.Healthy carbohydrates

Whole maize provides a healthy source of carbohydrates which are important

in providing the body with energy to perform daily activities.

The maize in githeri is also an important source of vitamins.

🟧4.Added nutritional value

One can easily increase the nutritional value of githeri by adding vegetables such as carrots, spinach and cabbage.

🟧5. Balanced

Githeri offers a balanced diet which is what we are all looking for in order to live healthier lives.

Generally, githeri is a balanced whole meal.
