Bulla

Bulla – Traditional Enset-Based Superfood from Ethiopia

Explore the energy-boosting power of this unique Ethiopian staple made from the Enset plant, often referred to as the “false banana.” Used in Southern Ethiopia for generations, this fine white powder is deeply rooted in tradition and prized for its versatility and nourishment.

What Is It?

Derived from the inner pulp of the enset root, this powder is processed through fermentation, drying, and milling. It’s then used to prepare porridge, drinks, or flatbreads. Its smooth texture and mild, slightly tangy flavor make it suitable for both traditional dishes and modern recipes.

Naturally Gluten-Free and Nutritious

This enset-based food is naturally gluten-free, making it a valuable option for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease. It contains easily digestible starch and offers quick energy, which is why it’s often consumed during recovery, pregnancy, or periods of intense physical effort.

Versatile in the Kitchen

You can prepare it in several ways. For instance, when mixed with hot water, it turns into a thick porridge or traditional energy drink. Some people add it to smoothies or use it to thicken soups and sauces. In fact, its smooth consistency makes it ideal for blending into various dishes without altering flavor too much.
