About Eba

Eba is a traditional Nigerian staple made from cassava flour, also known as garri, mixed with hot water to form a stiff, dough-like consistency. Commonly served with soups such as egusi, okra, or vegetable soup, Eba is a cornerstone of West African cuisine. Cassava is a rich source of carbohydrates, making Eba an excellent energy booster, but it is low in protein and other essential nutrients. While it is gluten-free and suitable for individuals with gluten sensitivities, its high glycemic index means it should be consumed in moderation by those managing blood sugar levels. Eba provides dietary fiber, aiding digestion, but the nutritional value depends on portion size and accompanying dishes. It is an adaptable, filling food that reflects the cultural and culinary traditions of Nigeria and its surrounding regions.
