Garri, also known as "cassava flakes," is a staple food in many parts of West Africa, made from fermented, dried, and grated cassava tubers. Garri Yellow specifically refers to a variety of garri that is processed with the addition of palm oil during the grating or frying stage, giving it a distinctive yellow color and slightly richer flavor compared to white garri.
