Gilbert Mashikolo Sharwarma King OwnerThe product is first of its kind in the market, offering: Good nutritional value… Good for diabetics too... Fairly priced, and great packaging.
I will definitely recommend product to anyone knowing the health benefits that it has. -
Ben Kanga AgronomistThe first time I tried the Chapati was out of intrigue. Never saw or heard of sweet potato Chapati and wanted to try it. Understand the health benefits of sweet potato, believe it is much better than ordinary flour Chapati… Packaging was appealing… I enjoyed it wholly... the sweet potato flavour and taste stands out amongst the many brands.
