Garri made from tubes
and roots of the cassava plant contains proteins, fat, carbohydrates, iron,
Vitamin B and C and also starch.
The leaves contain calcium, iron, fats and protein too. Below are
some of the major health benefits of Garri.
To make
garri, cassava tubers are peeled, washed and grated or crushed to produce a
mash. The mash could be mixed with palm oil (oil garri) before being placed in
a porous bag. It is then placed in an adjustable press machine for 1–3 hours to
remove excess starchy water. When the cassava has become dry enough, it is ready for the next step. It
is then sieved and fried in a
large clay frying pot with or without palm oil. The resulting dry granular
garri can be stored for long periods. It may be pounded or ground to make a
fine flour.
Eba is a stiff dough made by soaking garri in hot water
and kneading it with a wooden baton until it becomes a smooth doughy staple,
that is served as part of a meal with various soups and sauces. Some of these
include okra soup, egusi soup, vegetable soup, afang soup, banga soup and
bitter leaf soup among others.
Garri comes
in various consistencies, which can roughly be categorized into rough, medium
and smooth. Each type is used for a particular food.
For a full
meal, garri is usually cooked by adding it to hot water, then kneading it into
dough. This is eaten with different types of thick, leafy vegetable stews,
melon seed stews, peanut stews, or beans.
Smooth garri
(known as lebu to the Yoruba) can be
mixed with pepper and other spicy ingredients. A small amount of warm water
and palm oil is added and mixed with the hand to soften up. This
type of garri is served with fried fish. It is also served with frejon on Good Friday.
Health Benefit of Garri
1. Great for weight watching
Trying to shed some weight?
Then Garri is your go-to guy. Although very starchy, it is also low in calories
and the high fibre content in cassava helps you stay full for a longer period
and prevents binge eating.
2. Great for your digestive system
Garri contains fibres that
are not soluble in water. It helps in the absorption of toxins that enter your
intestines. In that way, it improves your digestive health and keeps it
chugging along nicely.
3. Prevents cancer
Hard to believe right? Garri
also helps in preventing life-threatening diseases such as cancer. The B17
content in cassava leaves helps in stimulating the content of red blood cells,
the loss of which often leads to cancer.
4. Perfect for diarrhoea
Those tales your mum told
you about the healing power of garri are very true. It addresses conditions
such as diarrhoea too. Just munch on it or drink with water twice a day to feel
the difference.
5. Good for eyesight
Garri is rich in Vitamin A
and bakarotennya that improves the health of your eyes and prevents future
blindness or poor eyesight.
6. Packed full of folate
Pregnant women need lots of
vitamin C and folate. A cup of garri contains 15 percent of your daily folate
requirement and 47 percent of the daily calcium requirement. The two vitamins
also help the body’s immune system.
Garri is an
exportable commodity and we have the capacity to export it any country in the
world.
