Eba is a Nigerian staple food consumed across the country and beyond. It is made from cassava flour, commonly known as Garri.
Garri is a by-product of cassava. He goes through many processes before finally becoming a Garri. But you don’t have to worry about everything. We all buy Garri in stores and Eba we make with them in just five minutes.
