Description
Gari also called garri, tapioca, gaphy, or garium sulphate by students in most Nigerian tertiary institutions (this is simply a nickname, and has nothing to do with the chemical nature or content of gari, just like groundnuts are called G-knots),is a white or golden yellow crispy granule made from freshly harvested, milled, fermented and then fried cassava tubers.
Garri is the main staple food all across Southern Nigeria, from Lokoja, Edo State, Delta State, Ogun, Lagos, Osun to Calabar and many of the Eastern States. No.
Many people think rice is the staple food in these places. Garri is more popular, more affordable, and is a healthier alternative to rice because of it's high dietary fiber content as well as high quality low GI carb.
It is used in making Eba, can be "soaked" as a snack in a hot day, served with roasted peanuts, or fried fish or moi-moi.
White Gari
Gari comes as white or yellow gari. White gari is gari that is processed and fried without the addition of red palm oil.
The addition of palm oil to gari is believed to help reduce and neutralize the cyanide content in cassava. Most white gari are fried and made safe to eat by allowing it to ferment over an even longer time than usual.
White Garri is very popular in Ghana, and some parts of Nigeria. Yellow gari on the other hand is more popular amongst the people from the defunct Bendel State of Nigeria - Deltans and the Edos.
