About Ijebu Garri

Ijebu Garri is widely regarded as the finest garri in Nigeria, thanks to its distinctive flavor and quality. Made from cassava grown in the fertile soils of Ijebu, Ogun State, this variety is known for its pleasantly sour taste and crisp texture. Unlike other types of garri, Ijebu Garri undergoes a unique fermentation process that gives it a sharp tang, making it ideal for those who love bold flavors. Its refreshing, slightly tart taste makes it perfect for soaking as a snack or used as the 'fufu' in combination with Nigerian and other West African soups.

"Ijebu Garri is a vibrant reflection of Nigerian food culture—its tangy flavor and satisfying crunch bring the authentic essence of Nigeria to every meal."

This cassava-based staple is not just loved for its taste, but also for its versatility in the kitchen. Whether soaked with cold water and enjoyed with roasted peanuts (groundnuts) or used as the base for eba, Ijebu Garri brings an unmistakable character to every meal. It’s particularly popular for making crispy eba, which pairs well with richly flavored soups like egusi or ogbono.
