Garri (Gari)

Garri is a major staple food in West Africa and is eaten in a variety of ways. Garri can be eaten without further cooking, as a snack, by placing it in a bowl and adding cold water; Ijebu-garri is made to have finer grains, and a pleasantly sour taste, making it very suitable to be eaten in this way. It can also be made into fufu for a heavier meal.
