tosenbaba: Belive it or not when  de Uni,i get pimples for face but as a result of making ends meet,had to live on Garri for almost 3mths ,by d end my face don clean up, no more pimples.Fat N Oil has been replaced by Carbohydrate.So Ȕ can imagine how precious Garri was to me.and take note my Uni was in Ijebu so  had access to the Original garri 24-7. GS04

it could do that, no doubt, but drinking it excessively might be bad for the health.

The benefit of eating garri is immeasurable. Garri has a high fibre content that help facilitate digestion and improve proper bowel movement. It is effective against Irritable Bowel Syndrome and can also help reduce the risk of colonic cancer. In view of this, garri's bulk of fibre can be seen as an internal cleaning agent as it help clear out fecal impaction of your intestinal walls, thereby increasing your nutrient absorbtion rate. Do you know research has shown that most diseases have their root traced to an unhealthy intestinal tract, caused by high intake of low fibre food like white-flour based diets? This is where garri can become of immense benefit.
And again, there is no disputing its energy content. Garri contains starch, and by extension serves as a veritable source of energy needed by man for his sustenance.
Garri dey blind eye? I never see person wey go blind as a result of soaking garri. But the truth is that, eating too much of everything will take it toll on your body. If you abuse a good thing like Garri, it will turn out bad for you. Just learn to vary your diet. Garri is good for everyone irrespective of whether you're born with a silverspoon or a bamboo spoon.
For me, i be omo naija and i dey soak garri well well. Cheers!

It depends on how you are taking the garri. If taken with milk, sugar bonvita etc, it could be ok.
If ordinary, i tell u it's dangerous.

mikron: I dont know o @ poster. Some people say lose of sight but i knw those are all lies. I dey drink garri wella and i dey enjoy am wella. Garri+ iced water+sugar+milk. Nothing like it. Mmmmmmmmmmmwwwwaaaaaaa

Very close but my own recipe is this:

Gari + Ice Water + Sugar + "flenty-flenty" roasted Ground Nuts with a plate of Hot Beans (Preferably the bean "seeds" should not crushed) kiss kiss wink

Walahi, the only thing that can beat this on a hot afternoon is to jump inside a swimming Pool and we dont have many around in my days!

BTW: Health Benefits?: Makes you feel tall and proud like an IJEBU man! grin

@Okija_juju wan kill me with laff o but I no gree! Dude got me rotfl. Dayumm!!
In line with the question, the benefits of drinking garri/soaking garrium are based on what u ingest alongside the flakes in my opinion. If u add milk, u'd benefit frm the nutrients in the actual compositn of such lactose. Same goes for g/nuts and fish. The drink itself should be a medium to gaining proteins/vitamins/carbs but garri on its own has very little nutritious content!
