Snacks That Carry Memories
There’s something magical about snacks. They’re small, simple, but powerful in the way they spark nostalgia. For Kenyans abroad, a bag of chevda or a handful of roasted peanuts is more than a quick bite—it’s a journey back home. With Taste of Nyumbani, you can now buy Kenyan snacks online in Italy and relive those flavors you didn’t realize you missed until you saw them again.
1. Chevda – The Crunchy Classic
Golden, spicy, and addictive—chevda is a must-have Kenyan snack. Perfect with tea, as a travel companion, or while binge-watching your favorite shows. Once you open the bag, there’s no stopping.
2. Roasted Peanuts (Njugu Karanga)
A timeless Kenyan street snack, roasted peanuts bring that smoky, salty taste we all grew up with. Italians love their aperitivo snacks, but nothing hits quite like njugu karanga.
3. Nduma (Arrowroot) Crisps
Forget potato chips—nduma crisps are healthier and way crunchier. A taste of home, packed in a modern snack you can enjoy anywhere in Italy.
4. Kashata – The Sweet Coconut Treat
Colorful, chewy, and sweet, kashata instantly reminds you of school trips and village markets. A true childhood favorite.
5. Kenyan Biscuits (Britania & More)
Who remembers Britania tea biscuits? Simple, humble, but unforgettable. Dunk them in your chai, and you’ll feel like you’re right back in your grandmother’s kitchen.
6. Smokies & Sausages (Street Style)
While not your traditional packaged snack, Kenyan smokies and sausages with ketchup or chili sauce are a nostalgic bite you can now recreate in Italy. Pair them with Peptang and you’ve got Nairobi street vibes on your plate.
Why Snacks Matter to the Diaspora
- They remind us of childhood memories.

At Taste of Nyumbani, we believe even the smallest snack carries a piece of home.
