About Garri
Garri is a granular flour made from fermented cassava. It is a staple in West African cuisine, widely consumed in countries like Nigeria, Ghana, and Sierra Leone. The production process involves peeling, grating, fermenting, drying, and roasting cassava into coarse grains. Garri can be eaten as a porridge when soaked in water and paired with sugar, milk, or nuts, or it can be cooked into a dough-like consistency called "eba," often served with soups and stews. Nutritionally, Garri is rich in carbohydrates, making it an excellent energy source. It provides small amounts of fiber, calcium, and iron but is low in protein and other essential nutrients. While Garri is naturally gluten-free, its high glycemic index may not be ideal for individuals managing blood sugar levels. It's best enjoyed in moderation and balanced with nutrient-rich accompaniments like vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
