Gari (Garri): Africa's Versatile Cassava Staple

Loved all over Africa, Gari (often spelled Garri) is a wonderfully versatile food made from peeled, grated, pressed, and fried cassava tubers. Ready to enjoy straight from the pack, it's also a popular base for classic dishes like Eba, Kokoro, and Gari Foto.

Tropical Sun produces three distinct types of Gari - each with its own texture and flavour:

1. White Gari

   • Texture: Coarse grain
   • Key Feature: Perfect for making Eba or simply snacking

2. Yellow Gari

   • Texture: Coarse grain
   • Key Feature: Fried with palm oil to achieve its rich yellow colour

3. Ijebu Gari

   • Texture: Fine grain
   • Key Feature: Offers a tangy, sour flavour that sets it apart from White and Yellow Gari

Whether you snack on it dry or use it as the cornerstone of a hearty meal, Gari's versatility makes it a beloved staple in West African cuisine - and a must-try for anyone exploring new tastes from the region.
