If you’re a fan of West African staples, you’ll love the Ijebu Gari 5LB now available at Yado African & Caribbean Market. With its authentic taste, superior texture, and versatility in cooking, this 5-pound pack of Ijebu gari delivers exceptional value for families, food lovers, and culinary adventurers alike.
What Is Ijebu Gari?
Ijebu gari is a version of gari (cassava flakes) that’s traditionally processed in the Ijebu region of Nigeria. It’s known for its slightly coarser granules, extra crispness, and pleasantly tangy aroma. This makes it stand out compared to standard gari varieties. When you purchase the Ijebu Gari 5LB, you’re getting that regional quality and distinction in every spoonful.

Great value: Buying a larger quantity means fewer orders and lower per-unit cost.
-
Bulk convenience: Perfect for families or those who cook gari frequently.
-
Fresh supply: Even in large packs, the grains remain crisp and well-sealed to preserve flavor.
Nutritional & Health Highlights
Ijebu gari is not just delicious — it also offers nutrition:
-
Carbohydrate energy: A staple source of quick-release energy.
-
Digestive support: The fermentation process involved in gari processing can aid digestion.
-
Gluten-free: Naturally free of gluten, making it suitable for many diets.
-
Low fat: A light product, often used with proteins and vegetables to balance meals.
How to Use Ijebu Gari in Your Meals
Ijebu gari’s versatility is one of its biggest strengths. Here are some ways to use it:
-
Eba / Swallow
Just boil water, gradually stir in the gari to your desired consistency, and serve alongside soups like egusi, okra, or ogbono. -
Gari soakings (cold snack / cereal style)
Mix gari with water (cold or slightly warm), add sugar, milk, groundnuts, or fruits. Some prefer adding a bit of powdered milk or coconut for richness. -
Gari pancakes / fritters
Combine with ingredients like eggs, onions, bell peppers, and fry small cakes for a crispy snack. -
Thickener for soups or porridge
Use as a thickening agent in stews or puddings by sprinkling small amounts and stirring.
Tips for Storage & Freshness
-
Store in an airtight container to prevent moisture absorption.
-
Keep in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
-
Use within 6–12 months for best flavor (though well-stored gari can last longer).
-
If humidity is high, include a small food-safe desiccant pack to preserve crispness.
Why This Ijebu Gari Stands Out
-
Sourced and processed in the authentic Ijebu tradition.
-
Carefully packaged to maintain crispness and aroma.
-
Offered in a convenient 5 lb size that’s practical for frequent use.
-
Backed by Yado African & Caribbean Market’s commitment to African food heritage.
