What Matters

02/05/2025

Today, we are going to analyze the nutritional content of this highly appreciated Cameroonian delicacy called "Poisson braisé & bâton de manioc" (roasted fish and miondo).

1) Roasted fish
Protein:
This is mainly a source of animal protein. We remember that after digestion of the latter, we obtain amino acids; the basic building blocks which the body uses to synthesize proteins for body repairs, growth and functioning.

Fats:
Fish also contains a good amount healthy fats. We say healthy fats because these fats are easily used up by the body. Unlike most animal fats, fish fats contain more of omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids which are best for heart functioning.

Vitamin:
Fish also contains vitamin D which helps in the absorption of Calcium and phosphorus. We know Calcium and phosphorus are used in bone and teeth formation. Calcium is also used in muscle contraction.

2) Bâton de manioc ( miondo)
Carbohydrates:
Miondo contains a greater amount of carbohydrates than any other nutrient. Carbohydrates as you know is a primary source of energy in the body.
Remember miondo is made from soaked cassava.
Soaking cassava is one of the methods of getting ride of the poisonous cyanide in it. In this process the enzymes especially cyanase found in the same cassava come in contact with the poisonous cyanide and breaks it down to harmless substances.

Fibre:
Apart from carbohydrates, miondo also has a significant quantity of fibre which helps move food in the digestive tract.

3)Onions and spices
We will remark that chopped raw onions mostly accompany roasted fish. Apart from the sharp taste onions provide, they also contain a good amount of antioxydants which removes the free radicals produced when the fish is roasted.
Spices and pepper add more taste to the dish as well as some trace elements.

Enjoy!!!

Hello guys,
Today, we're going to talk about fufu corn and bitter leaf as requested by Emanuela Mbang. It is one of Cameroon's most cherished dishes.

1- Fufu corn is made from corn thus it is packed full of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are the first energy sources in the body.

2- Bitter leaf surprisingly is a good source of plant protein. It also contain a bunch of vitamins including A, C, E, B1 and B12. Remember that vitamins help facilitate the smooth functioning of our body systems . Dietary fibers are of course a significant content that help to ease digestion.
The bitter component of bitter leaf is a secondary metabolite which has a non nutritive rule.

3-As seen on the image, there is visibly much fish and meat. These are very good sources of animal protein. We remember proteins help build, repair and ensure the functioning of our bodies. In as much as most people would like more animal protein in their bitter leaf, due to it's taste, it is to be noted that the body needs just a particular amount of protein per day and the rest is either discarded or deaminated and converted to glucose. Proteins are therefore not stored in the body. Therefore, extra meat portions are not very necessary... nutritionally 😊.

4-Tomatoes are equally added. They contain minerals and vitamins that help out in normal body functioning.

5-Red palm oil is equally used in great quantity. This is a source of lipids. Lipids commonly called fats and oils are a secondary source of energy. Note that too much of this may reduce the digestion of other food components.

6-Sweeteners like maggi and salt are usually added. If you have enough protein, it will be better to avoid maggi as they may contain some pro hypertensive components.
Salt is necessary but must be controlled as well.

7- Pepper is an appetizer for some people as its capsaicin triggers the secretion of digestive fluids. Watch out, pepper can equally overstimulate your digestive tract and make you visit the restroom often...you know what I mean.

Enjoy!!! 😉

Let me know what we should analyze next in the comment section.
