2 Food Groups

Add tomatoes, stir, and cook until they are soft.

Add the chopped Sukuma wiki (or other dark leafy green) and iodized salt. Stir until everything is well mixed.

If you are cooking over gas, kerosene, jiko or fire, lower the heat. Cook just until the sukuma wiki is wilted and the tomatoes are well mixed. Do not overcook. Overcooking makes your vegetables less nutritious.

Remove from the heat. Let cool before serving so you do not burn your baby’s mouth.

Wash your hands and your child’s hands with soap and clean water before feeding your child.
