Traditional food in Mtwara and Lindi, Tanzania

About this dish

Ming'oko is a wild root that grows in Makonde Plateau, Tanzania. It is widely traded on the plateau and lowlands nearby. Eaten as food in the country, Ming'oko has been compared to carrot by Alexander Kesse, a German historian and scholar, who used both to analyse how people often ignore their ethnicity and culture, in this sense, calling Ming'oko as root whereas carrot is likewise.
