SadzaSadza is the Shona language name for a cooked pulverized grain meal that is the staple food in Zimbabwe. Sadza in appearance is a thickened porridge. The most common form of sadza is made with white maize 'mealie meal'. This maize meal is referred to as hupfu in Shona. Despite the fact that maize is actually an imported food crop to Zimbabwe (circa 1890), it has become the chief source of starch and carbohydrate and the most popular meal for indigenous people. Locals either purchase the meal in retail outlets or produce it in a grinding mill from their own maize. Preparation is a more complicated process than it may first seem from the appearance of the food. Other names: Isitshwala (Ndebele). This food is cooked widely in other countries of the region. Sadza is known as Nsima in the Chichewa language (Malawi). External links
