It’s amazing to see youths highlight our heritage, nowadays that heritage is seen as backwardness, loving it embracing it and elevating it it the true modernity, this is our wealth I love these olives soon traveling back home after 4 months and I am going to try preparing them for my family, I’ve always loved them but never knew how to prepare them and never knew how it’s tree looked like, I am so happy you made this video for us, May God keep blessing you to do more videos about heritage
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...
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
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!!!
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.
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.
God, I miss my Ugandan rare delicacies! Foods I took for granted in my youth are now paying back for ignoring them. At times one has to go away in order for them to come back. The joy of tasting every kind of food whenever I come back to the Pearl of Africa is beyond explanation. Luwombo, doddo, nakatti, jobyo, roasted goat meat, ginger tea, roasted cassava, roasted/boiled corn, roasted peanuts, dry fish in peanut sauce with matooke, cassava posho/ any meals from Eastern Uganda (kalo), gonja, fried or steamed Nile Perch/Tilapia, byenda katogo, fresh pineapple and passion fruit juice, obushera from our brothers and sisters from the Western part of Uganda, ensenene.... Man, the gastronomical list is infinite. Thank you kind young man for the humble and down to earth manner in which you make your presentation. I can never get enough of your videos. Very humourous too! Cheers and God bless.
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
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!!
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.

Thanks alot Nicho to be honest with you guys since I grew up I have never seen its tree 🌲 I was thinking that it grows like Cassava not knowing that it comes from the tree 🌲 hahahaha 🤣😂🤣😂 and guess what I like it much hooooo.
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.
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?
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!

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.

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..
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..
