Gari is a processed cassava product made from cassava roots. The figures here describe the dry flour, rather than gari prepared with water or other ingredients. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with 95g per 100g, alongside 4.6g of fibre and 0.7g of protein. Its energy content is 1541 kJ per 100g.
Carbohydrate is a source of energy for the body, while fibre helps support normal bowel function. This flour contains little fat or salt, and only trace amounts of sugars, although its total carbohydrate content is worth noting when monitoring carbohydrate intake. Preparation and added ingredients can change the nutritional content of the finished food. Full nutritional figures are provided in the tables below.
