WHAT IS GARRI

Garri is grain free, even though its fine granules give it a grain like texture when touched. It is produced in powder form and can be enjoyed in different ways. It can be made into eba, a “swallow food” paired with various soups, or soaked like regular cereal and enjoyed with groundnut (peanuts), cashew nuts, fried fish, coconut and more.

What is Cassava?

Garri is made from cassava tuber.

Cassava is a root crop rich in carbohydrates, making it a key energy source in West Africa. However, raw cassava contains cyanogenic compounds, which can be harmful if not properly processed. This is why cassava must undergo fermentation and roasting to make it safe for consumption as garri.There are two varieties of cassava tubers. The sweet cassava and the bitter cassava

Sweet and Bitter Cassava – Cyanide

Sweet Cassava

Sweet Cassava:

Contains lower levels of cyanogenic glucosides (less than 50 mg HCN/kg).
Can be consumed after thorough peeling and cooking, as these processes reduce the cyanide content to safe levels.

Bitter Cassava:

- Contains significantly higher levels of cyanogenic glucosides (up to 400 mg HCN/kg or more).
- Requires extensive processing to eliminate the toxic cyanide.

The Processing Sequence:

Harvesting: Mature cassava roots are harvested.

Peeling: The outer peel is removed, as it contains a higher concentration of cyanogenic glucosides.

Washing: The peeled roots are thoroughly washed to remove dirt and debris.

Grating: The roots are grated into a pulp, increasing the surface area for enzyme activity and cyanide release.

Fermentation: The grated pulp is fermented, which further breaks down the cyanogenic glucosides. This step is very important.

Pressing: The fermented pulp is pressed to remove excess water, which carries away dissolved cyanide.

Sifting: The pressed cake is sifted to break up lumps and create a more uniform texture.

Frying/Roasting/Garification: The sifted cassava is then fried or roasted, or in the case of Garri, Garification, which dries the product, and further reduces the cyanide content to safe levels.
