BUSHERA DRINK IN UGANDA
Bushera is a Ugandan traditional fermented cereal beverage consumed by people of Uganda mainly those coming from the south-western part of Uganda i.e. people from Kabale and Rukungiri. The drink is produced from sorghum (Sorghum bicolor, (L) Moench) and millet (Eleusine corocana) grains which are also used to make alcoholic beverages such as kwete, tonto ,omuramba to mention but a few(Muyanja, Kikafunda, Narvhus, Helgetun, & Langsrud, 2003). Bushera is enjoyed mostly on house hold level, loved by all regardless of age and it takes 6 days duration in the process of its fermentation. It is used to quench thirst and now many companies have emerged taking advantage of peoples love for bushera. Now companies like kabale drink, promise, and desire have all embarked on making this drink, package it in a bottle, brand it and sell in shops and supermarkets across the country thus commercializing the product which was initially made for house hold use only
