White gari is a granular semolina obtained from cassava roots that are peeled, fermented and then roasted. It is a fundamental ingredient in many West African households. Indeed, it accompanies main dishes or is eaten as a snack. This 1 kg version, prepared according to the “homegrown method“, respects culinary traditions. In addition, it guarantees great ease of use.

The artisanal process begins with the fermentation of cassava, an essential step that gives it its characteristic slightly acidic taste. Then, the roots are pressed to remove excess water, then sieved and toasted without the addition of oil. This method of preparation makes it possible to preserve a naturally gluten-free product, rich in starch, with a dry and crispy texture.

Versatile, the white gari adapts to all desires. Mixed with water, sugar and a little milk, it becomes a nourishing sweet porridge. Transformed into a thick paste with hot water, it is an ideal accompaniment to African sauces, especially okra, tomato or peanut sauces. It can also be used as breadcrumbs in more modern recipes.

The simplicity of preparation is a real asset: no need for long cooking, just add water to rehydrate it according to the desired texture. Whether travelling, at work or at home, it’s a practical product that immediately reconnects you to the flavours of the country. This generous 1 kg packaging allows multiple uses for the whole family.

An authentic cassava semolina, both simple and tasty, for everyday African cuisine or traditional meals.
