Gari Ijebu is a premium variety of cassava flakes, highly esteemed in Nigeria for its unique processing, fine texture, and sharp, sour taste. Originating from the Ijebu people of Ogun State, this, white-colored, fermented cassava product is specifically cherished for “soaking” (drinking with cold water) and for producing smooth, light-textured Eba (a swallow food).

Traditional Usage
  • Soaking/Drinking: This is the most common use. It is mixed with cold water and served with sugar, milk, roasted groundnuts (peanuts), or kulikuli (peanut cakes).
  • Eba (Swallow): It is mixed with hot water to create a firm or smooth dough, often consumed with soups like okra or egusi.
  • Ready-to-Eat: Due to its crispy nature, it is sometimes eaten dry as a snack.
Nutritional and Cultural Significance
  • Energy Source: High in carbohydrates, it provides rapid energy.
  • Fiber Content: It contains fiber, which aids digestion.
  • Gluten-Free: As it is made entirely from cassava, it is a suitable option for those avoiding gluten.
  • Cultural Symbol: It is highly popular in Nigeria and globally within the diaspora, often representing a, “taste of Africa” and cultural pride.

Ingredients: 100% processed cassava tubers

Note: While traditionally safe, garri production includes fermentation to reduce the natural cyanide content of raw cassava.
