Pumpkin / Ensujju

Pumpkin (Ensujju) is a traditional, highly nutritious vegetable widely consumed in East Africa for its rich flavor and health benefits.

 It has a thick outer rind, sweet yellow to orange flesh, and is known for its versatility in both savory and sweet dishes.

Ensujju is a staple in many Ugandan homes, often served steamed, mashed, or cooked in groundnut sauce.
