Yellow Garri
$6.50
Description
Yellow Garri is a popular West African staple made from fermented cassava flour that is roasted with palm oil—yielding a golden hue and subtle aromatic richness. Unlike white garri, palm oil imparts both color and antioxidants, while fermentation reduces cyanide content and enhances digestibility.
In Nigeria, particularly among the Igbo, yellow garri is celebrated for its high starch content and smooth texture—making it especially suited for preparing Eba (a firm swallow). In Ghana, coarser, starch-rich varieties are favored for soaking due to their yield and texture. Consumers look for crisp grains as indicators of freshness.
