Back in the days a friend was so broke and hungry that he drank a big bowl of garri WITHOUT SUGAR, MILK & Groundnut(A1). He ate 1 RED PEPPER to ginger his mouth then pounced on the g4. It was LEGENGARY. G4 is a life-saver. QED

I have soaked Garri since Nursery School up to MBA level. and I still do when supper is not ready. I should be blind (and dead) by now.
The main cause of the eye problem is soaking without milk. when i was in secondary school, i do soak garri morning and night, at times in class, everything would turn black, at times e go be like TV way no get station and will last 3 to 5 minutes before it clears off. i was advised not to take garri too much and to soak with Milk whenever i soak. it stopped later when i minimized soaking garri

kokoye: All of you saying garri + ice cubes. Whatever happened to garri + powdered milk + cripsy roasted groudnuts??

I'm a fan for life wink

Maybe no health benefits but the thing dey sweet . . like stew-soaked ponmo!!

i like it with grandnut/peanut and sugar and cold water no milk... if i wan to use milk then no need grandnut... garri itself should be under carbonhydrates/glucose~ na it we take dey make eba and eba(some) dey get starch

Chronicles of Garri!!! My coz Erique did cannabis and came home so HIGH & HUNGRY with no cooked food to help himself to, he drank quite an amount of Garri and he felt Satisfied and Sober. Moral lesson : Garri steps down your HIGH!

alj harem: As a poster rightly said, Garri may cause one to lose his/her eyesight. Cassava itself contains cyanide which is a poison itself, that is why we dry and fry grinned cassava to remove the poison.

Garri can be categorise into 2

1. White garri- the garri is white in colour as the name implies. The only benefit as that it contain fibre and also contains huge amount of carbohydrates.

2. Yellow garri - It is yellow in colour and benefits include carbohydrates, vitamin A (good for eyesight), fibre and vitamin C. The extra vitamins comes from the fact that the garri (crushed dry cassava) has been fried with palm oil instead of vegetable oil.

Again Garri is very good but don't eat it too much (3 times a day everyday is excessive).

Although the best garri is Ijebu garri because of the zero cyanide contain (but also very acidic)

A well fortified garri with chilled water, sugar and milk is a good home made treatment for diarrhea .Don't add milk if you are suffering from lactose intolerance. Groundnut will be a better replacement for milk in that case.

If garri affects the eyes adversely, then close one eye when wacking nah just in case so that u can use the other eye to see.

Health benefit of "soaking" garri? Well how about an incremental deterioration of one's eyesight. That one easily comes to mind. I guess some people would consider poor eyesight a 'benefit' - given that it reduces their ability to see evil.
