Igisura is the Kinyarwanda name for stinging nettle (Urtica dioica), a hardy wild green that grows in damp soil. Sold here dried, it is a nutrient-dense leaf — rich in vitamins A, C and K and folic acid, and high in iron, magnesium, calcium and potassium. Once dried or cooked it no longer stings. Simmer it like spinach or isombe with onion and a little oil as a side dish, add it to soups and stews, or steep a spoonful in hot water for several minutes as a herbal nettle tea. Rinse before use; store the dried leaf sealed in a cool, dry place.
Broken, cracked maize kernels for slow-cooked githeri, samp, isyaga and hearty corn porridge. Rinse, then soak for a few hours and simmer with beans, onion and a little oil until tender for a filling one-pot meal; or cook down soft with milk and sugar for breakfast. High in fibre and naturally gluten-free. Sold by weight — store somewhere cool and dry and use within a few months for best texture.
Pounded cassava leaves — known as pondu, sombe, isombe, saka-saka or matembele depending on the country — in a 2.2 lb pack, ready to cook. Simmer slowly with palm oil, onion, leek, aubergine and either peanut butter, smoked fish or meat until tender and rich. Serve with rice, fufu, ubugali or plantain. A green vegetable dish at the heart of Congolese, Rwandan and Angolan home cooking; naturally gluten-free.
Akanozo composite flour — ifu y'imvange, a mixed flour of soya beans and cereals — sold by weight. High in plant protein, B vitamins and minerals such as iron, zinc, magnesium and calcium, it is used to cook a nourishing porridge (uji) for children and adults and to enrich plain maize or millet porridge. Whisk into water or milk and simmer, stirring, to a smooth consistency; sweeten to taste. Store sealed in a cool, dry place.
Fine cassava (manioc) flour milled from dried cassava root — a naturally grain-free, gluten-free staple used across Central, East and West Africa. Cook it with boiling water into fufu or ubugali, use it to thicken porridge, soups and stews, or swap it one-for-one for wheat flour in pancakes, flatbreads and baked goods. Mild in flavour so it takes on whatever it is cooked with. Store in a cool, dry place and reseal after use. See pack for net weight.
Unrefined red palm oil, 1.1 L — a household size for cooks who make African food regularly. Deep orange-red with a rich, earthy taste, it brings colour and flavour to banga and palm-nut soup, egusi, ogbono, jollof rice, beans and Central African greens such as pondu. Warm the bottle briefly if the oil has set. Store away from heat and light and reseal after use.

Pilau masala is the warm Swahili-coast spice blend — typically cumin, coriander, black pepper, cardamom, cloves and cinnamon — that gives pilau rice its aroma. Fry it with onions, garlic, ginger and meat before adding the rice and stock, so the spices bloom in the oil. It also lifts beef and goat stew, biryani, roast potatoes and marinades. See pack for net weight; keep the jar closed and away from heat to hold the aroma.
Agashya is one of Rwanda's best-known fruit drinks, made by Sina Gérard's Enterprise Urwibutso (the company behind Akabanga) at Nyirangarama.

Serve chilled over ice as an everyday soft drink, mix into fruit punch, or use as a base for cocktails and mocktails. Shake before use and refrigerate once opened. See bottle for net volume.
