East African Highland bananas (EAHB) are triploid banana cultivars originating from the African Great Lakes region.
They are a staple food crop in Uganda, Tanzania and other Great Lakes countries, and are used to make matoke.

East African Highland bananas are also known as the Mutika/Lujugira subgroup.

Matoke locally also known as matooke, amatooke, ekitookye in south western Uganda, ekitooke in western Uganda, ebitooke in north western Tanzania and igitoki in Rwanda, is a starchy variety of banana.
The fruit is harvested green, carefully peeled and then cooked and often mashed or pounded into a meal.
In Uganda and Rwanda, the fruit is steam-cooked, and the mashed meal is considered a national dish in both countries.

The medium-sized green fruits, which are of a specific group of banana, the East African Highland bananas (Musa AAA-EA), are known in the Bantu languages of Uganda as matoke.

Cooking bananas have long been and still are a common staple crop around the Lake Victoria area of Uganda, and in the West and Kilimanjaro regions of Tanzania.
