About Soaked gari
Soaked Gari is a popular West African dish made from gari, a fermented and grated cassava powder. Typically enjoyed as a refreshing snack or light meal, it involves soaking the gari in water or milk and sweetening it with sugar, honey, or occasionally condensed milk. Variations often include nuts, fruits, or groundnuts for added texture and flavor. Originating from countries like Nigeria and Ghana, this dish is celebrated for its simplicity and versatility. Nutritionally, gari is a source of carbohydrates, providing energy, but it's low in protein and essential nutrients. Cassava-based foods like gari are gluten-free, making them suitable for those with sensitivities. However, excessive consumption may lead to weight gain due to its high-calorie content. Moderation and pairing it with protein-rich or nutrient-dense toppings can enhance its health benefits while maintaining its traditional appeal.
