Gari is a popular West African food made from fermented cassava. It is a versatile and nutritious staple that is enjoyed in various forms across the region. With a slightly sour flavor and a gritty texture, gari can be used to make dishes such as eba (a dough-like consistency), gari soakings (a refreshing snack), and as a crunchy topping for soups and stews. Rich in carbohydrates and a good source of fiber, gari is not only delicious but also provides energy and essential nutrients.
