Garri is food and medicine.

 Did you know that soaking garri in water for few minutes and decanting the water is an instant source of energy and vitamins? Yes garri water is also beneficial. The sour,crunchy garri type has an added advantage because  the water can be used in cases of dehydration.

 Garri can also be used to treat wounds,when there is a cut bleeding profusely,just sprinkle some granules on the site to form a mat. The fiber in the garri will act as a substrate,initiating fast blood clotting before you seek medical care.

Next: benefits of garri water.

A recent study conducted in the Philippines (one of the countries where cassava is an important crop) looked into the effects of root crops and legumes in lowering cholesterol levels among humans with moderately-raised cholesterol levels. Garri a derivative of cassava has the attributes of cassava, which means that cassava here refers to garri. 

The study showed that cassava significantly decreased total cholesterol levels, decreased low density Lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (considered as “bad” cholesterol), and may help lower triglyceride levels due to its high total dietary fiber content. 

 Another study show that cassava may help support the nervous system and help alleviate stress, anxiety and irritable bowel syndrome.Beside as a food, cassava also has many benefits as a drug, such as for rheumatic, headache, fever, wounds, diarrhea, intestinal worms, dysentery, night blindness, Beri-Beri, and also can increase stamina. Overcoming arthritis can be done by eating the cassava or rub it on the pain.
