YELLOW GARRI (Palm Oil-Enriched Cassava Granules) Premium Yellow Garri is made from cassava tubers (Manihot esculenta ) that have been peeled, washed, grated, fermented, dewatered, and roasted with the addition of natural palm oil. This palm oil enrichment gives the garri its distinctive golden-yellow color, slightly different flavor profile, and enhanced nutritional value, particularly in vitamin A content. The addition of palm oil during roasting not only imparts color but also increases the fat content to 3-5% and adds carotenoids (provitamin A), making yellow garri more nutritious. Yellow garri is versatile: It can be eaten as a snack (garri soakings with water, sugar, and groundnuts), made into a dough (eba ) served with soups, or prepared as a porridge. It is the preferred choice for those seeking additional nutritional benefits from the palm oil enrichment. Nutritional Components (Per 100g dry yellow garri) Energy: 380-400 kcal Carbohydrates: 85-87g Dietary Fiber: 9.12±0.23% Protein: 1-2g Fat: 3-5g Moisture: 12.55±0.57% Ash: 1-2g Vitamin A: Significant Beta-Carotene: Present Vitamin C: Trace B Vitamins: Trace Potassium: Present Magnesium: Present Residual Cyanide: <10 mg/kg Key Benefits: Higher dietary fiber content (9.12%) compared to white garri. Supports digestive health. Significant source of vitamin A from palm oil carotenoids—important for vision and immune function. Lower moisture content (12.55%) gives longer shelf life and better storage stability. Fermentation reduces cyanide to safe levels while improving digestibility. Low to medium glycemic index provides sustained energy release. Gluten-free and grain-free—suitable for celiac disease and grain allergies. Storage Instructions Store in airtight containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight Shelf life: 12-24 months when properly stored; can last "well over a year" in optimal conditions. Critical factors: Moisture content and packaging material are most important Packaging: Plastic containers or polythene bags provide best protection against moisture and pests; paper and jute bags less effective Temperature: Room temperature (15-30°C) acceptable; avoid temperature fluctuations Light protection: Critical for yellow garri—light degrades carotenoids (vitamin A compounds) and causes color loss Humidity: Keep below 12% moisture content in product; store in low humidity environment Pest protection: Protect against insects, mites, and mold—primary spoilage agents Signs of spoilage: Musty odor, visible mold (Aspergillus, Penicillium, Fusarium), clumping, off-colors, or rancid smell from palm oil oxidation Hygienic handling: Essential to prevent microbial contamination during storage Chemical treatment: Sodium benzoate can extend shelf life significantly when combined with hygienic handling

Key Benefits: Higher dietary fiber content (9.12%) compared to white garri. Supports digestive health. Significant source of vitamin A from palm oil carotenoids—important for vision and immune function. Lower moisture content (12.55%) gives longer shelf life and better storage stability. Fermentation reduces cyanide to safe levels while improving digestibility. Low to medium glycemic index provides sustained energy release.

Storage Instructions
Store in airtight containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight

Shelf life: 12-24 months when properly stored; can last "well over a year" in optimal conditions.

Critical factors: Moisture content and packaging material are most important

Packaging: Plastic containers or polythene bags provide best protection against moisture and pests; paper and jute bags less effective

Temperature: Room temperature (15-30°C) acceptable; avoid temperature fluctuations

Light protection: Critical for yellow garri—light degrades carotenoids (vitamin A compounds) and causes color loss

Humidity: Keep below 12% moisture content in product; store in low humidity environment

Pest protection: Protect against insects, mites, and mold—primary spoilage agents

Signs of spoilage: Musty odor, visible mold (Aspergillus, Penicillium, Fusarium), clumping, off-colors, or rancid smell from palm oil oxidation

Hygienic handling: Essential to prevent microbial contamination during storage

Chemical treatment: Sodium benzoate can extend shelf life significantly when combined with hygienic handling

WHITE GARRI (Plain Fermented Cassava Granules) Authentic White Garri is made from cassava tubers through a process of peeling, washing, grating, fermentation (3-5 days), dewatering, and dry-roasting without any oil addition. This produces the characteristic creamy-white, free-flowing granular flour with a slightly sour taste and acidic pH. This versatile food can be consumed in multiple ways: as a cold snack soaked in water with groundnuts and sugar (garri soakings ), as a hot meal prepared as eba (dough) eaten with soups, or as a breakfast porridge. Its affordability, long shelf life, and ease of preparation make it a crucial food security item for everyone. Nutritional Components (Per 100g dry white garri) Energy: 380-400 kcal Carbohydrates: 85-90g Dietary Fiber: 3-5g Protein: 1-2g Fat: <1g Moisture: 15.74±0.23% Ash: 1-2g Vitamin A: Minimal Vitamin C: Trace B Vitamins: Trace Potassium: Present Magnesium: Present Residual Cyanide: <10 mg/kg Key Benefits: Extremely low fat content (<1%) ideal for low-fat diets. Good source of carbohydrates for quick energy. Fermentation improves digestibility and reduces anti-nutritional factors. Contains dietary fiber (3-5g) for digestive health. Low to medium glycemic index provides sustained energy. Naturally gluten-free and grain-free. Most affordable staple food option. Long shelf life makes it ideal for food storage and security. Storage Instructions Store in airtight, moisture-proof containers in a cool, dry, dark place Shelf life: 12-24 months when properly stored; up to 14+ months with hygienic handling and preservatives Packaging: Plastic containers or polythene bags are superior to paper or jute bags for maintaining quality Temperature: Room temperature (15-30°C); avoid heat sources Moisture critical: Higher moisture content (15.74%) than yellow garri makes white garri more susceptible to mold—ensure proper drying before storage Humidity: Store in low humidity environment; moisture causes rapid deterioration Light: Store in dark place to prevent quality degradation Pest protection: Protect against molds (Aspergillus, Penicillium, Fusarium, Rhizopus), insects, and mites Signs of spoilage: Musty or moldy odor, visible mold growth, clumping, sour smell beyond normal fermentation, color changes Quality maintenance: Proper drying during frying to reduce moisture is essential for long shelf life. Hygienic handling: Use clean, dry utensils to prevent contamination

The result is a sour, slightly crisp staple with a distinctive sharp taste that sets it apart from other garri varieties. Ijebu Garri is prized for its extra sour flavor profile, achieved through extended fermentation, and its fine, uniform texture. It can be enjoyed cold as a snack soaked in water with sugar, milk, and groundnuts, or prepared as a hot stiff porridge (eba) served with traditional soups.
