Ndhiwa, Homa Bay
Groundnuts
Dried slowly in the open, never in a kiln. Sorted by hand three times — once in the field, once on the mat, once before packing. Ground fresh, they make the odour of a Luo kitchen at midday.

Exactly like my mother's
My mother is from Ndhiwa. These taste exactly the way hers did. That is the whole review.
