Rwandans enjoy eating beetroot, but entrepreneur Assumpta Uwamariya has found a novel use for the vegetable: turning it into a red wine that has proven popular with customers in several African countries and even as far away as Germany.
Unable to find a job after graduating from university, Uwamariya started growing beetroot for a living, and then learned how to turn it into a rich, earthy red wine known as “Karisimbi.”
