🚫 Myth: "Garri causes blindness."
✅ Fact: Garri does not cause blindness when it is properly processed and prepared.
Garri is made from cassava, a staple food enjoyed by millions across Africa. The real concern is poorly processed cassava, which may contain harmful compounds if not fermented and prepared correctly. Properly processed Garri is safe, nutritious, and a great source of energy.
