GARI IS GLUTEN FREE!!!
I was excited to find out gari is gluten free; this discovery not only piqued my curiosity, It totally changed the way I saw gari as food.
I began to wonder why gari could not be made a breakfast meal of some sort, with this in mind, I began my “mini-research”.
Here are a few things I discovered:
-Cannia gari cake ,baked with gari as main ingredient and sold in the US.
-A world class Asian food company(TRS) now packages gari
TRS GARI
-Gari is largely eaten across Africa, in Asia and South America.
– Recipe for Gari Pancakes ,a healthy breakfast meal made from gari and other ingredients.
-Crunchy gari biscuits ,can be taken with a dip(yoghurt)
– Gari foto – a Ghanian delicacy made from gari, palmoil , eggs ,oils , pepper…..
– Kwik meal, gari soakings – gari + milk + sugar +groundnut
kwik meal- gari +sugar +milk +groundnut
There’s even some Japanese food ingredient called “sushi- gari” (sliced pickled ginger,a compliment of the Asian sushi dish).
All this kind of means gari can be made into a granola bar.
I went as far as comparing the nutritional profile of kellogs cornflakes against Gari (that topic is for another day though).
In all, I learnt a lesson to always look within before “trekking” about , if something as little as gari can be made into all of this, there’s so much we as a people can do, if only we believe, look within and not “trek” about.
Happy Independence people….God bless Nigeria!
I will share the various recipes found in subsequent write ups.
