    Indigenous South African ingredients to use in your cooking

    Heritage Month is a good opportunity to look beyond familiar South African dishes and consider the ingredients that have long been part of the country’s food heritage. South Africa has a wide range of indigenous food crops, including grains, pulses, leafy vegetables, tubers and fruit. Many are well adapted to local growing conditions and have traditionally been harvested, cultivated, dried or preserved for use in home cooking. Some may already be familiar, while others are less likely to appear in a supermarket trolley. Here are a few worth getting to know. Morogo Morogo is a collective term used for a…

    When can you swap cacao and cocoa?

    If you’ve ever stood in the baking aisle wondering whether you should be buying cocoa powder or cacao powder, you’re not alone. They may look almost identical, come from the same plant and both promise a rich, chocolatey hit – so what exactly is the difference? The short answer is that cacao and cocoa come from the same plant, Theobroma cacao, but the terms are often used to describe the beans and products at different stages of processing. There is also a fair amount of overlap in how the words are used on food packaging, which makes the whole thing…
