About Vitumbua
Vitumbua are delicious rice-based snacks originating from East African cuisine, particularly popular in Tanzania, Kenya, and Zanzibar. These lightly sweetened treats are made using a batter of rice or rice flour, coconut milk, sugar, and a hint of cardamom for flavor, often cooked in a specialized, round pan for their signature shape. Vitumbua are naturally gluten-free, making them an excellent option for those with gluten sensitivities. They provide an energy boost due to their carbohydrate content from rice and fat from coconut milk, but their nutritional value is offset by the added sugar, which makes them best enjoyed in moderation. Traditionally a breakfast or tea-time delicacy, Vitumbua showcases the rich culinary heritage of the Swahili Coast while offering a balance of creamy and aromatic flavors.
