Description

Gari Ijebu – Bigi Mama, is a premium-quality, fermented, and roasted granular cassava product. It is a staple food in Nigeria, particularly among the Yoruba people, known for its slightly sour taste and crunchy texture. This variant is white, finely granulated, and free from additives or preservatives, making it a natural and gluten-free food option. It is commonly eaten as a snack, breakfast cereal, or main meal when soaked in water or paired with other accompaniments.
