My body cannot stand the cyanide inside the Cassava root (garri)

I love our soup but I am looking for what to used to replace garri

I don't like pounded yam.
Tuwo is impossible for me
Akpu is the evil brother of garri
Starch is impposicant

Which one is semo-lina?

Have you tried amala? how is the taste look like ?




Try semo, wheat or amala.

Op's point is not that he has food allergies. He claims that the cyanide in cassava is what makes him react to it and so therefore garri, akpu etc are poisonous.

How did this man type out of point by saying his mind?

His reaction to the constituent in Cassava is tantamount to food allergy, which means he is supposed to completely steer clear of it, just like people with the very common "Peanut or Nut allergies"! You don't tell them to work on their diet, or even eat it sparingly! They are not simply exclude it from their diets for their own safety sef.

That is my grouse with the recommendation and reply!

Garri does more harm that cassava root is very poisonous and harmful to our body.
Excellent write up L.C. Hopefully you reached a few open minds. Research healthy grains as a replacement.

Many times I keep telling people that, eating Garri does more harm to us than good but nearly everyone that hear me say this, get furious with me.

Since child-hood I have had nothing but trouble eating this yellow stuff (Garri).
I normally eat rice from january to december, when I feel the urge to eat soup and garri, just eating it twice gives me health issues.

In 2018, I became worried and I went to see some (medic) practionals and told them about the effect of garri on me, to them I was talking nonsense because they themselves cannot do without eating garri.

I was in a place full of working men when I told them that Garri is poisonous to our body, these guys almost eat me raw. I had a fierce argument with them 1 me vs 7 men because I was trying to let them know that cassava root is very poisonous and harmful to our body.

The garri was constantly making me to have
・Migraine (headache)
・Sour mouth; lips and tongue
・Stomach pain
・Fast heartbeat
・Itchness / scatching
・Body weakness, it makes me very weak. I must constantly lay down.
・Dizzyness, I will not be able to stand for long

The heavy sugar in garri started giving me diabetic symptoms.

・Weight loss (Fatigue)
・Blurr Vision
・Peeing / Urinating every 30 mins.
・Eye Pains / burning; I will not be able to look at the sun or be inside the sun because of eye pain/burning.

The first time I eat akpu in 2002, I nearly died. Akpu is extremely worse

Is anyone experience this?

I love our soup but the garri is poisonous to my body, what can one use to replace garri?
semovita,corn flour and even rice flour.leave garri and foofoo for us.

Did I complain about soup? I see that, your ignorance is heavy.

I am talking about what the deadly cyanide do to my body, you are giving me list of soup. I guess you are inside my body, to tell me what is good for me or not.
coolNot every species of cassava has cyanide compounds. Those who have, canbe carefully processed to make their garri completely harmless. e.g Fermentation and adding red oil. Ur error comes from hasty generalization. U conclude garri is bad since u react adversely to it. The common adversity in eating garri, is sight dimming over prolonged periods and in advancing age. Other than that, ur symptoms are quite unique to only u and shud not be used as a yardstick to assess the edibility of garri.

Another attempt to discourage us from taking this Life saving, award winning delicacy. It has been failing and it will continue to fail.

Because it is poisonous to you doesn't mean it would be poisonous to others. Our forefathers have been drinking, eating garri before you and I was born and they lived healthily. People like you will drink cociacola, Pepsi, Champaign without badmouthing it despite how dangerous it is but will come around to bad mouth our innocent life saver......Shey ki n swear fun OP ni

There is a reason my cousin ran back to Nigeria just to have another taste of his most liked food. Werey miss garri!

May every evil fashion against our precious Garri be rendered useless!

Re: Garri: This Is Poisonous To My Body by pakirisuitesphc(m): 5:25pm On Aug 21, 2021
The truth is most producers are the problem, if they allow normal time for fermentation, the level of cyanide will be reduced and will be totally neutralized during proper frying with red oil, most of them sacrifice proper processing for higher yield at the detriment of the final consumers wellbeing. If you must take garri, you may try to re fry it at home and add red oil, Red oil neutralizes cyanide, hence red garri is safer than white one. If you take samples of garri they are selling in the markets and test them, you will be shocked with the high level of cyanide in them.

Do you know Americans consume cassava?
Yes they do. It's called cassava chips.
If those ones that take every thing they consume serious from the chemical to the the nutrients serious and still consume cassava. Who are we Africans to say we won't.

Our ancestors will be angry with u now, and and I am sure they are already looking for means to press one hot knock in the middle of your head.

And FYI. There is what we call allergies, Se person do not eat peanut, milk, egg etc . Does hat mean they are poisonous?

You are very correct, I experienced all these signs while I was in school. Generally, from mid-semester to examination period things are usually bad for most students. My diet is majorly garri because I won't create time to cook either.. it brought me stomach ulcer and blurred vision at a point, i remember while preparing for exams I couldn't read a page in 2hours due to migraine which I can't expain, to make matters worse I will urinate at least 3 times in a 2hours lecture, I was feeling suicidal and my blood pressure was increasingly high so I decided to visit a doctor, after listening to me, he checked my blood sugar level then he told me that it was normal, and some drugs to lower my blood pressure. I left the doctor regretting not asking him if taking garri at least once in a day could cause me such damage. Today, I no longer include garri in my diet, though i still respect it.
