What is a traditional mandazi?

A mandazi is a popular breakfast snack that is loved by young and old across Kenya:

  • A fried bread, usually made from wheat flour, sugar, water and yeast. High in energy, low in essential nutrients
  • Particularly common in low-income communities due to low price (KES 5-10)
  • Children take mandazis to school for a morning or midday snack
  • Sold typically on the roadside –  Consumed immediately or take-away. Many people feel frustrated by “air pockets” in the product, making it seem less valuable for the money they spend
