Garri (Cassava Flakes) – A Nutritious African Staple

Garri is a popular and versatile West African delicacy made from processed cassava tubers. Known for its crunchy texture and slightly sour taste, Garri is a household staple enjoyed in various ways across Africa.

Rich in carbohydrates, fiber, and essential minerals, Garri serves as a great energy booster and a filling meal option. It can be eaten dry as a snack, soaked in cold water with sugar, milk, and nuts for a refreshing treat, or cooked into Eba, a smooth dough-like meal paired with soups such as Egusi, Ogbono, or vegetable soup.

Available in both white and yellow varieties (the latter enriched with palm oil), Garri is easy to store, has a long shelf life, and is a must-have in every kitchen. Whether for daily meals or special occasions, Garri remains a beloved and nutritious choice for millions across Africa and beyond.
