Papa’s Choice Ijebu Gari (500g) – Tangy Cassava for Gari Soakings and Soups

Papa’s Choice Ijebu Gari (500g) is a tangy, finely textured variety of gari that is especially popular in southwestern Nigeria. Its sharper flavor profile sets it apart from other gari types, making it a favorite for “soakings” (a snack-like beverage) or as a side for soups. The 500g pack is suitable for trying out this distinctive cassava product if you are unfamiliar, or for occasional use if you are already a fan.

Key Features:

Pronounced tanginess compared to other gari varieties
Fine texture that easily blends with water or soups
Favored for gari soakings, a quick snack with water, sugar, or milk
500g size convenient for sampling or small-scale cooking
Retains crispness if stored properly
Usage Tips: Mix Ijebu gari with water or milk, plus sugar or salt to taste, to create a refreshing snack. If you prefer a dough-like consistency for eba, pour it into boiling water gradually, stirring until it thickens. The tangy flavor pairs especially well with rich, spicy soups like ewedu or egusi. Keep the unused portion in a sealed container for continued freshness.
