Ngege (Oreochromis esculentus, a kind of Tilapia) is commonly consumed throughout Africa's great lakes region. Lake Victoria was a famous source of Ngege until the Nile Perch was introduced and drove the Ngege to near-extinction (many Lake Victoria cichlids suffered the same fate). This is another of Africa's many Peanut Sauce recipes, similar to Central Africa's Fried fish in Peanut Sauce.

African Mango....


African Mango

African Mango, aka Irvingia Gabonensis, is becoming one of the most popular weight loss ingredients as of late. The African Mango has been extensively studied over the past 20 years, but only recently have scientists been researching the benefits when it comes to weight loss.
Of course, most diet pills have a propensity to abuse just about any ingredient, whether it’s effective or not. But while claims vary from product to produce, most claim that African Mango can help burn fat, suppress the appetite, and control hormones such as the obesity hormone leptin.
There are also some who suggest African Mango is related to the common mango and that it may also help you to cleanse and detoxify the body. But what has 20 years of research determined about the African Mango?

The Good Things About African Mango


African Mango is a single ingredient that has been said to be quite possibly the most effective weight loss ingredient to recently hit the market. When you use African Mango, you will see it first start working as it helps to suppress the appetite. It’s also been clinically proven to increase fat burning by elevating the metabolism.
It has not been connected to any serious side effects.
This one ingredient is the only ingredient, prescription or natural, that has been clinically proven to lower levels of leptin to help you to get on your way and avoid weight rebound. And it continues to demonstrate significant effects, only requiring 150mg, which amazingly enough, most companies don’t even bother to use.

The Bad Things About African Mango

African Mango does not actually detoxify or cleanse the body. As much as African Mango can do to help you lose weight, there are products out there that still exaggerate the possible benefits of African Mango.

The Skinny

African Mango has a number of active components capable of results that have never been seen before with any other ingredient. It has a low propensity to be abused. And when you use African Mango, you will find that it can help you to lose more weight. It should not be a standalone ingredient.
Yes, it seems to do everything in one. But it is always important to have backup. It is always essential to have more than one ingredient that can help you to achieve the results that you want.
