Sadza is the
Shona language name for a cooked pulverized grain meal that is the
staple food in
Zimbabwe. Other names include isitshwala (
Ndebele). This food is cooked widely in other countries of the region. It is known as sima in the
Chichewa language of
Malawi, and
pap in South Africa.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
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.
