Monati Mabela, a hearty South African breakfast
Traditional sorghum porridge
Monati Super Mabela is a porridge made from sorghum, a grain known in South Africa as mabela. It cooks into a smooth, warming bowl with a distinctive nutty, gently malty taste that sets it apart from oats or maize porridge. For many South Africans it is the taste of a childhood breakfast.
Nutty, malty and warming
Cook it with water or milk to your preferred thickness, then sweeten it the way you like with sugar, honey or a swirl of condensed milk, and a knob of butter. It is filling, comforting and a good way to start a cold morning.
A breakfast South Africans grew up on
Monati is a familiar name for traditional South African porridges. We bring it to Canada so you can keep a warming, nostalgic breakfast in the cupboard. This is the larger pack for households that go through it often.
