Grains & Cereals
NAFDAC Approved
Description
PIMUS Garri is a finely processed cassava product made from freshly harvested cassava roots that are peeled, grated, fermented, dewatered, and then roasted into crisp, granular flakes. That roasting step is where the magic happens, it gives garri its signature slightly smoky aroma and crunchy texture when dry. Depending on the processing method, it can appear white or slightly yellow if palm oil is added. It is incredibly versatile, you can soak it in cold water with sugar and groundnuts for a quick snack, or prepare it with hot water to form a smooth, stretchy swallow known as eba. Its long shelf life and ease of preparation make it a staple in many households.
Health Benefits
Garri provides a quick and reliable source of energy because of its high carbohydrate content, making it ideal for fueling daily activities. The fermentation process helps improve its digestibility and reduces naturally occurring compounds in cassava that could be harmful if not properly processed. It also contains small amounts of dietary fiber, which supports digestion and helps maintain gut health. What this really means is garri works best when paired with nutrient-rich soups, proteins, or added ingredients like milk and groundnuts, turning it from a simple staple into a more balanced and nourishing meal.
