Garri,is processed cassava tubers, and has become a much wanted staple food in Nigeria. Once considered to be food for the poor, garri is gradually slipping out of the reach of ordinary Nigerians who sometimes cannot do without helping themselves to a plate of eba (or garri flour mixed in hot water) or its soaked version every day.

The garri staple food

Garri is a creamy-white or yellow granular flour with a slightly fermented flavour and sometimes sour taste. It is made from fermented, gelatinised fresh cassava tubers. Garri is a staple food largely eaten in Nigeria and other West African countries. Even in faraway America, Australia, Europe and some other parts of Africa, people eat this popular staple food with different delicious African soups. The soaked version of garri flour taken with coconut, bean cakes (akara), beans pudding (moin-moin), groundnuts, or smoked fish, is another interesting delicacy for many people, especially when taken with cold water and during hot periods. Some even prefer to add evaporated milk and sugar to enjoy their soaked garri.
