Gari is West Africa's great survivor food, and this fine Ijebu-style gari is among the best of its kind. Made from carefully fermented and roasted cassava, Ijebu gari is prized for its extra-fine grain, crisp dryness and pleasantly sharp, tangy taste. Soak it in cold water with sugar, groundnuts and milk for the beloved "gari soakings" that has rescued countless students at month's end, or sprinkle it generously over waakye and beans stew for that essential texture. It also turns into a smooth, firm eba when stirred into hot water — the perfect swallow for egusi and okro soup. However you take it, gari is filling, affordable and endlessly reliable. One kilo in the cupboard is quiet peace of mind.
