Canjeero

Cultural Context

Canjeero, also known as Lahoh, is a traditional Somali flatbread that has roots in the Horn of Africa. It's often enjoyed during breakfast or as a side with stews and sauces, embodying the essence of communal dining. This versatile bread has gained popularity beyond Somalia, with variations appearing in neighboring countries and among the Somali diaspora worldwide.
