We need to buy a camera lens for the channel, and I need your help..
OUK WE GONNA MAKE IT IN GOD'S NAME
18 hours ago, and no one has made a gift on gofundme! It might be time to stop making videos Nickolas and focus on something else. At this point, you are not getting the support you need to keep this channel going. Sorry buddy. 😞
I will donate when I get paid
Amen...
Thank you our moderator...
According to google, the fruit is called Atili:it can be softened with warm water before eating .The oil from the fruit is very healthy and rich in vitamins, antioxidants ,iron,calcium, magnesium and potassium. Basically a fruit we all should be eating. Great job showcasing this fruit. I have never seen or heard of it before. Thanks.
Happy to have you here Patricia... me I gave up on Google....it gives everyone a different ones......like Bush candle, African Olives, etc... me I gave up.... Now I didn't see Atili anywhere....
Am now confused....but we have to keep going...
You can find it easily in central in Congo we call it Safou
@ismaelboungou wow..
.I really want to visit Congo...
The local indigenous name is always the right name, dont apologize!
Looove empafu, especially cooked in salt water, and I need to grow a tree or three for prosterity! Keep up these awesome videos that help preserve our excellent organic diverse African diets and respective cultyres!!! BAN GMO FOODS AND CROPS and NO TO WESTERN DIET!!
Webale nyo byokola in these videos!!!
Banayee gwe asinga..kubba otukamu time ne data woo to watch these videos...am so grateful
In Nigeria in my tribe we call it Nbuba and it's prepared same way with hot water but you don't touch it until it's cooked and soft.. you can eat it with or without salt. It has a lot of vegetable fat.. and kids play with the seeds. Just seeing the first time. Nice video 👍.... Good narrative.
Thanks for sharing this with us Betty, am happy to have you here..
So can that oil be used for o cooking
I wish the kids were around we used to cook them in our mouth 😅 that was fun yes we cooked them 😅 the story of cannibal is just story rumours just Kyagwe raised me for 9yrs every time i was scared thinking i will be eaten the Mawokota in me stayed in Kyagwe while enjoying empaffu thanks for amazing video it brought back the memories back in 2004 to 2011 long live Kyagwe
Thanks too for sharing all this information..and am happy this video brought back those stories....
Uganda has many types of bananas. You can make a video showcasing all of them!
Soon I'll do that..
Kyokka musajja ggwe...what a lovely documentary...MPAFU OYEEEEE!
Hahaha.. Thanks for watching Ssebo
In Nigeria this is called Ube. But we add the salt to the warm water before adding the ube. And you can 'cook' the ube in your cheek. You just tuck it there and leave it for 30 minutes or so. Some people love the rotten (moldy brown) ones the most. When they turn brown and rotten, they become soft without the help of water. Others like them roasted/baked in ashes.
Great we share so much as Africans
Wow...thanks for sharing...I was told you use alot of salt when you add it in water......am loving this information....am so grateful my dear
Yes.....we are the same..
Even in Uganda same process I my used to do that in my young age with my sister
@aminahbintnansamba2004 thanks for watching Aminah
Webale nnyo okwogera ku mpafu. Muluzungu baziyita African elemi.
Thank you for sharing. Keep going. Balaba-Aseka
Nawee webale kulabba video enno...
Look for the lost fruits in Uganda. Even many Ugandans do not know fruits like jambula, mattugunda, ebinyanya, amatungulu, ekobe, hard skinned passionfruits, ensaali, enkooge, ebitafeeri etc
Just know I love to do all this.....but you can even look for some in the markets and you might fail to find them....neither in the villages....but am going to do my best
Most of them grow in Kabale
Are you sure?...and this might be the season
Awesome list, we MUST PRESERVE OUR INDIGENOUS DIET, I have planted most of these fruits on my farm, missing some and looking for good seeds. NO GMO CROPS!!
Love these videos, invaluable way to inform and remind about our awesome diet and culture!! Kyagwe rocks!!
@omuntu3363 where are you...I would love to visit your farm
This was suggested randomly and I like. Keep it up I know you're going far.
Aww...thank you so much
In Uganda we call them empafu! My grandmother has a whole big tree of them so yummy ! I really miss Africa 😢
Thanks for watching....am sure home misses you too....
Dats ma favourite since childhood
Thanks for watching Josy
I am loving the latest videos so much.thank you for the work you and your team put in
Thank you Irene...💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
After seeing this I miss Uganda even more.
Please come back home
Welcome back back ground music 🎶 👌
Thanks again Kumar..
Our beautiful food ❤
Thanks for watching
Empafu / Mpafu - African Elemi or Canarium fruit. Elemi oil can be extracted by pressing the flesh of the fruit.
Thank you Mukasa for watching...and for this information..
I was wondering that. Does it taste similar to european olive oil?
Wow, i didn't even know that mpafu still exist because those trees are nolonger there; plus i haven't seen the fruits for decades. Nice video kadogo, but man you are in great health -- keep up the good work. So far your videos are really helpful to both local struggling Ugandans and those in diaspora heading home. "They are not videos telling us to rent a home $500 in UG, crazy". Thanks much.
Just know these trees are being cut down for timber...... am glad to have yoy here.... those $500 home rental... 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I really have no idea about them..
Thank you for sharing. 🙌🏽✨
Thanks too for watching
Looovve empafu, awesome food! I need seeds to plant a tree!! What a beautiful place, so green!! Save me a plate of cooked mpafu 😂 ❤❤❤❤

Our neighbour had a big tree and the time for harvest he would tell us to bring our baskets so that we share it was such a good gesture but nowadays obumu nga obwo simanyi oba bukyaliyo.
Hahaha..you people used to enjoy alot....am sure obumu bukyaliyo.....just that the society is developing alot and making everyone so busy..

It's amazing nick
Thanks for that
But how does it taste
Manawatu ekyo obba nakyelabila ntyaa....Kale labba
You can even cook one in your mouth. As kids, we used to push it at side in the mouth. After about ten minutes, it would be softened and edible!
Hahahaha....I do remember this.....these moments are always fun..
Africa is bless
💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Please showcase places where we can get affordable food around the city depending on the budget. Example what can we getting for 5k, 10k, 20k, 30k, 40 and 50k. Stop doubting your camera man. Good quality videos.
Thank you for this idea....more videos are coming....Cameraman is my little bro...am trying to teach him....if I don't call him...he stays in one place and we end up missing out alot..
👍
Thank you
Kiyitirivu bambi okulya empaffu

@@EatingTheAfricanWay wala nyo Manchester eno
@maureenkivumbi8385 eeh...walaa nyoo wabulaa....nayee be safe
Nico if you needed to climb that tree for food to survive, you would surely starve to death🤣🤣😂. Thanks for sharing the method used for preparing these olives. What happened to the cameraman?, he wasn't hungry?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I wouldn't starve to death....I would become a monkey and just come up on the tree...🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks too for watching..
The African Olives (Empaffu) tree resembles the tamarind tree in the way the leaves and branches are spread.
Yes...but olive tree is so huge...
I remember we used to put 1 on each side of the mouth then they get ready😂😂😂
It’s a lie we used to cook them without asking
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for watching
Safu in DCR (prune in french)
We eat it with hot pepper and fish or meat
So good
Wow....it's like am missing out alot
@@EatingTheAfricanWay, you should try it - very yummy ! In Cameroon too they eat it salty
You are tempting me to plan for my next destination
Wau!
Thank you
@@EatingTheAfricanWay i would not have climbed either..but sure looks tasty and are healthy!
In Nigeria is called Africa pearl
Aww...thanks for saying
Was thinking of empafu the other day and here u r, what about jambula
I got you sorted.....it's the season...I see jambula tree away from my window.....and the birds are enjoying the fruits
Enfumba y‘olulimi lwe Ente!
Omutwe gwe Ente
Our traditional snacks, simsim mixed with nuts, emberenge, lumonde omwokye, muwogo omwokye, emwanyi, gonja. All traditional snacks in one video (if possible). Eating sugarcanes!
Thank you so much...
Omutwe gwe Ente, Video is already on this channel..
I did a street food video....and showed most of the foods... also another was about the fruits......but am also going to do others...I have them in mind and soon I'll drop them...
@@EatingTheAfricanWay You have already covered so much!! We appreciate 😋😋😋
@Kiriza22 Thanks again
In the Cameroons we called it plums
Thank you so much...how is Cameroon..
You could also show us a video on how ebyenda by‘ embuzi are prepared. When I was young, I watched how they made a rope out of them. Have you made a video about kafechi? And how it is cooked! Ebye Uganda tebigwa? How about the coffee tied in byaayi. Kuluno onampaayo akasiimo!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Akasiimo kanzigyemu akasekko.... thanks for the ideas....more and more is coming..
@@EatingTheAfricanWay 😁😁😁😁😋😋
Hahaha...I didn't see that coming..
Have you presented Western dishes like Tooro Firinda, meat in gnut source from Bunyoro? Omukalo?
Northern dishes:
Paste from the crashed white ants, marakwang, Moyau (shear butter), and many vegetables mixed with simsim and gnut paste.
Pilao by moslems, all types of Katogo, omugoyo etc
Am still traveling and you know it needs money....But soon am going back to Northern side...
Mugoyo video is already on this channel...
Am sure there are so many videos you haven’t watched....on this channel....
@@EatingTheAfricanWay nick they said western 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣okayyyyy
🤣🤣🤣 Omwana abadekii..
Obrigada. ♥️♥️♥️🇧🇷
Thanks for sharing
But the process is simple n easy
Finding the tree is a big challenge nowadays!!
Aprt of climbing the tree
It's a great challenge
Thanks
Thank you so much Belle...am so grateful. Yeah...I can see it now...🕺🕺
@@EatingTheAfricanWay Glad to hear you got it 👍
@hana-belle thanks for supporting this channel....
Are they very common in Uganda? How many shillings per KG from the farm?
I don't want to lie to you....but we have them in our markets....
Ate obumonde obuzungu, babufumba batya? In katogo, sometimes smashed.
Cowpeas? Fresh cowpeas are very good with Matooke!
Ate okufumbira mu kasaka?
Thanks again for this..
More videos are coming..
Thanks for all your efforts! Bambi bu ideas bwange buwandiike, then erase them. Abantu bajja bukopa!🙏🏼🙏🏼
Interesting topic, told in a very interesting way. The storytelling is good. Great to learn about new foods.The story about cooking fruit inthe mouth but also the narration style is unique... you would do well telling corporate stories/ corporate campaigns....please say: is this fruit similar to olive? is it sweet or savoury?Can oil be pressed out of it? If yes it could be good for as oil or as a cosmetics additive.
Thank you so much for watching....next time I promise to do better and not to leave out any information....
@@EatingTheAfricanWay You're doing great. You're onto something good.
@mck5549 🕺🕺🕺 Thanks again MCK
It´s hard like an olive, but it softens when cooked well. The taste is somewhere green olives and black olives.
@Kiriza22 thanks for the help
i love the video but one travel and try new food
Thank you....more videos are coming
That's a big tree, do you know how old it is? Could be hundreds of years old and still providing fruit that's amazing
The own of the house told me....even his parents use to Haverst from it when they were kids.... just know it's in hundreds of years...
Hi Nicho. Hope you’re able to get the super thx I sent. Be blessed

@@EatingTheAfricanWay Amen. Thanks 🙏

@@EatingTheAfricanWay ok will hold you against that
💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Please always wear a helmet and body protectors before climbing, and then place a big foam on the ground in case he falls down, ok?
Thanks for the advise...
Not sure if this is called pears in Nigeria
Thank you Stella

Hahaha...please go through the comments.....they have been sharing it..

Oooh dear....I know alot has changed now...
It's shameful I didn't know these were called olives 😢
Hahaha....am happy you know it now.....thanks for watching..
@@EatingTheAfricanWay always
@jaymaimer 🤗🤗🤗
Why do you say negative stuff about your country and yet you have no proof? If there were cannibals, you surely would never go to that village!
It's true same areas in Uganda balya abantu
How can get Mpafu banange I really love them soon much
Kiriza, I was not trying to be negative....but it's true...not only in Uganda but also other countries their are people who still practice cannibalism..... on a way to reach that place...the boda guy told me to get done early with my program and leave the village....
Am a risk taker....have been to the worst but still kept going....just know I got through alot to make these videos..
Thank you Hajarah
It's their season....already in the markets...you can try Owinno market
