Oyster Nut: Ethnobotanical Insights from Northern Tanzania

Abstract

Telfairia pedata (Sims) Hook is an important native climber plant commonly grown in East Africa. It bears nuts which are eaten either raw or cooked and is consumed mostly by expectant mothers, and as cooking oil. The survey was conducted between September 2019 to February 2020 in Sambaa, Meru, and Pare communities of Lushoto, Bumbuli, Arumeru and Same Districts, Northern Tanzania to assess the ethnobotany of T. pedata from a sample of 346 respondents using semi-structured questionnaires. Results indicate that, 21% of respondents used T. pedata for cooking with other staple foods while 18% claimed that the nuts are used by pregnant and lactating mothers for medicinal and breast milk stimulation and nine (9) percent indicated that the nuts are used for cultural and ritual purposes. Despite its importance, the cultivation of T. pedata in the study area is declining and the gap why such decline is experienced needs to be answered in further studies. Secondly, respondents within the 36-50 age groups reported the greatest diversity of uses of T. pedata 51% compared with those aged below 36 years old 21% signifying that the traditional knowledge known by younger aged groups may be declining. Thus, this gap of traditional knowledge between the groups should be addressed in order to improve utilization and conservation of this seriously declining yet important nut in the study area and other places of Tanzania.

Introduction

Local societies are known to have ethnobotany knowledge that is inherited from one generation to another through word of mouth on economic, medical, ecological and cultural benefits (Hamilton, 2003) (Young, 2007) (Tamalene et al., 2016). Ethnobotany assists in explaining utilization and preservation of the plants biodiversity thus maintaining local ecological systems and culture (Reid et al., 2009).

Telfairia pedata (Smiths ex Sim) Hook (Fig. 1), is Cucurbitaceae family from a small genus of flowering plant which is native in Tanzania including Zanzibar Island and other countries of Africa including Uganda and northern Mozambique (I. A. Ajayi et al., 2004)(Aregheore, 2012). It is also well known by its local names in regions of Kilimanjaro, Arusha, Tanga and Ruvuma as "mkweme", "ngoimee" or "ikwemee" and "makunguu", “nhahani” and so forth. It is a woody dioecious climber with coiled tendrils which bears squash like fruits containing nutritious oil seeds and grows well in well drained loamy soils (Van der Vossen & Mkamilo, 2007), Fig. 1. The plant is a facultative perennial which is grown in slightly shaded and mulched areas but not damp soils and also creeps on host trees, live hedges or staked on wooden framework (Ajibade et al., 2006; Grubben, 2008; Paul & Yavitt, 2011). T. pedata nuts are rich in oil content, fat, protein, polyunsaturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, minerals including magnesium, phosphorous (Akoroda, 1990b; Mwakasege et al., 2021).

In Tanzania, ethnobotanical facets and uses of T. pedata have not yet been adequately documented specially in terms of local people’s livelihoods, how it used, cultivated, marketed, preserved and its conservation measures. Among local plants long used by the Pare, Chagga, Sambaa, and Meru tribes, the T. pedata is one which is harvested from the home gardens and agroforestry systems (trees mixed with annual crops) as a source of food, for cultural rituals and medicine. In these communities, traditional knowledge about T. pedata has been passed down and applied for generations (Ajayi et al., 2004; Odiaka et al., 2008). 

Therefore, this study aims at documenting and collating knowledge on the indigenous uses of T. pedata nuts and its cultivation practices in order to support the consumption and utilization of the plant in a sustainable manner, while providing benefits to the local communities through conservation of traditional knowledge. We examined the ethnobotany of T. pedata in northern Tanzania with the expectations that, the socio-demographic characteristic on T. pedata differ across the study sites; there were different ethnobotanical uses of T. pedata across the study area; areas where T. pedata were cultivated differ across study area with gender; perception of abundance of T. pedata differ across the study area and T. pedata nuts were stored in different methods across the sturdy area.

Experience the Swahili Culture: The Swahili culture emerged around two thousand years ago through intermarriage, exchange of ideas, and trade between local Bantu peoples and foreign groups like Arabs, Greeks, Persians, Romans, and Chinese. To truly experience authentic Swahili culture, one should visit Zanzibar Island, where the intermixing of Bantu and foreign cultures is evident. Key features of the original Swahili-speaking population include lighter skin, a focus on commerce, and the Swahili language.

Olduvai Gorge: In 1959, Dr Louis Leakey discovered the skull of the "Nutcracker Man," also known as Zinjanthropus, at Olduvai Gorge, an archaeological site in Tanzania. This fossil, along with many others unearthed at Olduvai Gorge, dates back approximately 2 million years. Due to these significant discoveries, Olduvai Gorge has earned the moniker "the cradle of mankind." The gorge is located along the road to Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater.

Visiting the Hadzabe Tribe: The Hadzabe Bushmen, an ancient tribe of just 1000 people, still live as hunter-gatherers along the shores of Tanzania's Lake Eyasi, just as they have for over 10,000 years since first arriving in the region. Visiting the Hadzabe offers a rare glimpse into their unique culture and way of life, sheltered from extinction by their isolation and primitive lifestyle. You can learn how they forage for wild honey, fruits and tubers, craft bows and poisoned arrows, perform traditional dances, smoke meat, make fire with sticks, build huts, and track animals. With luck, you may even witness a marriage ceremony or tour one of their winter caves. A few Hadzabe continue their ancient traditions and survive as one of the last hunter-gatherer tribes on Earth.

Kilwa: One of the historical islands along the coast, Kilwa was the most powerful and prominent city on the East African coast from the 12th to 15th centuries. With lasting imprints of Swahili culture and magnificent architecture, this island became a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Mto wa Mbu: Mto wa Mbu, one of Tanzania's leading cultural sites, sits at the foot of the spectacular East African Rift Valley.

Visiting the Ng’iresi village. The Waarusha tribe occupies a village located 7 kilometres from the town of Arusha on the slopes of Mount Meru. Though related to the pastoral Masai, the Waarusha have embraced farming as their primary livelihood. Visitors can take a full-day guided tour of the village ending at the foothills of the mountain. Other activities when visiting the Waarusha include climbing the nearby Kivesi and Lekimana hills.

Mulala village: Mulala village, located in Arusha, is a favourite destination for tourists interested in immersing themselves in Tanzania's beautiful culture. Cultural tours of the village allow visitors to learn about the lifestyle of the Waarusha tribe.

Maasai Tribe and their Bomas: Migrating from Kenya to Tanzania around the 15th century, the Masai fought other tribes to acquire more pasture land for their livestock. Distinguished by their pride, intelligence, assertiveness, and friendly nature, the Masai stand apart from all other tribes in Tanzania. They are one of the most visited indigenous African tribes.

Visitors to a Masai village can experience the rich cultural heritage of this community firsthand. Guided tours allow guests to enter the bomas (homesteads) and manyattas to learn about traditions directly from village elders. No trip is complete without watching the energetic dancing, drumming, and leaping of young Maasai warriors. For the most immersive and memorable cultural encounters, travellers should visit the traditional bomas of Seneto and Irkeepus in the Ngorongoro region.
