Garri – Traditional West African Staple with Nutritious Variants
Garri is a beloved West African food made from fermented, grated cassava that is dried and granulated. Rich in carbohydrates, fiber, and small amounts of iron and vitamin C, Garri provides lasting energy and aids digestion. There are several popular variants of garri, each with its own unique flavor and culinary use. Garri Ijebu is known for its fine texture and sharp, sour taste. It is often enjoyed as a cold, refreshing soak with water, sugar, groundnuts, or milk—making it a favorite snack or light meal. Yellow Garri, on the other hand, is infused with palm oil during processing, giving it a richer color and a slightly milder flavor. It is especially favored for making Eba, a smooth and stretchy swallow that pairs perfectly with soups and stews. Garri is quick to prepare, highly versatile, and deeply rooted in West African culinary tradition, making it a pantry essential for everyday cooking.
