The common food among the Tutsi included beans, corn, peas, millet, sorghum, cassava, sweet potatoes, and bananas. Within their diets they receive carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, that are provided by fruits and vegetables. They receive very little fat and protein. Due to this lack of protein a disease called kwashiorkor is common.
