They are the same thing
Just add red oil to white garri gives you red garri

They are not the same thing, though the main difference is adding palm oil, like you say. There are also slight process differences:

There's white garri (Ijebu and variants), which have little or no oil and often lime/lemon. Most times it has small granules and has had more of the starch washed out/pressed out during processing.

There's yellow garri which like you mention, contains palm oil. More often than not, it has larger granules, and contains more starch - some to the point it starts acting like lafun.

There's also garri produced from yellow cassava (relatively recent), but I'm not sure what to make of it... reminds me of sweet potato somehow.
I personally prefer white garri for sipping on.

sour garri is the best. Any garri that ull chew and its sweet contains cynamide and its detrimental to health.

My brother in the Lord.. Have you ever tried this combo before on a very sunny afternoon??

White garri + groundnuts + plenty milk + FIBRE ACTIVE BISCUIT [i][/i] + very chilled pure water... I swear you would forget your name....

I'll keep saying it, I would never forsake drinking garri even if I have 1billion in my account... Life saver ayeeee

My brother u forgot to add, dropping some ice cubes in the plate of garri and allowing it to melt while you sip it.
If na my Ikale/Ilaje brethren, they add smoked fish with enough pepper or roasted meat.
Fada lawd!!!!!!

I have known this since I was a child.
I wonder how people still don't know this.
Onlyonebuhari:
This question really expose the level of illiteracy among Nigerians. They dont read nor do research about what they consume. Thanks to our parents for so intelligent and renowned and that's why they live longer that this social media agents.
Yellow Garri is far better than white Garri because white Garri contain HYDROCYANIC ACID HCN which is highly poisonous. But yellow Garri contains oil which is an anti-oxidant that oxidizes the HCN making it poison free. This is the main reason why red oil is commonly used as anti poison reagent.

My advice
Please remain silent or think before you talk, don't be among the educated illiterates that we have in multitudes in the country.

White garri undergo some level of fermentation, thereby containing some degree of alkanol/ alcohol. Yellow garri is more nutritious, it contains more fibre which enhance digestion and also contains lipid from palm oil.





Eat Urhobo garri and forget your sorrow.

yellow is better, white causes diabetes and ruins your sight, not to talk of lowering your IQ.

Check out the areas in the country where white garri is consumed you will verify these facts. cool
