This is how Garri (Cassava Flask) is made locally in southeast Nigeria. Nigeria is the highest producer of cassava in the world. Music and template I use for editing 1.envato.marke... for business: nkwafilms@gmail.com
Fascinating and yet full of nostalgia! As a teenager in Alayi, Abia State, in the early 1970s, I used to operate my father's Lister garri grinding machine after school. Our people are so dexterious and happy souls! What a labour-intensive garri production process! It has remained unchanged. The smokes can be blinding. Women, particularly, toil under immensely difficult conditions... Life is something! David, you ROCK!!!
This is actually the most Educational video about Gari production. I come from a cassava producing areas of Uganda 🇺🇬 and have wished to see my people get to garri production as a way of preserving and transforming the casava for increased income.
I once lived like the depicted young lads. These are endangered species in current dispensation. I long to taste pristine gari like the one shown. You are doing a good work, by showing this; God bless you. I wish the government/ investors can encourage and support the peasant farmers.
It is freshly and ecologically made.Right from the production base.I suggest the usage of light coloured hand gloves and face masks for hygiene.I mean no criticism because the video is for transboundary view not only in Nigeria and Africa. Many people have different culture and in globalization we adopt multiculturalism to get our products marketable....
Excellent video. Informative and highly educational. I would have loved to see the way they did it in the the old days, before the introduction of machinery.
Nwa afor, your reaction to that woman speaking in the Abakalaki dialect is priceless. I didn’t understand a word she said either. The process of making garri is really arduous.
@@DavidNkwa It's my first time today watching your videos, I've already watched 4 so far. Thank you for reminding and enlightening us of our African culture. New sub here 😜
Great video! Very educational. I would like to try some fresh Garri. It looks delicious. I had some Fu fu one time and loved it! It actually tastes like what we call white potatoes in America. Why did you have to throw it in your mouth like that?🤣🤣🤣
Man, I have personally done every part of garri production from the planting to the harvesting to peeling to grinding and drying and seiving to frying. It's crazy that nothing has changed all these while. Still same old process. Please, the "engineers" in our colleges should put head together and create a machine that can automate this process to make it better and faster and easier. Women shouldn't have to sject themselves to inhaling dangerous smoke that could damage thr lungs and dry out thr skin to make garri. Or the grinding machine/process needs to be a little more hygienic. I remember that whole place would stink. Anyways I enjoyed your video bro. Thanks for taking me back. I am sharing it
@@onelove6971 I disagree with you on that buddy. This is hazardous to health and the process is not safe at all. You are constantly breathing in dirty fumes, burn yourself, its drying your eyes out, and a bunch of other hazards. We need to do better and revolutionalize this process for our local farmers and make it better and that starts with people talking about it which you say is "complaining"
@@MrNaijaboy4real talking about frying garri is one. Being against it is another. Garri is affordable food for millions of people. And easily achievable through this local method. We don’t need to westernise our ways of doing things. This art of garri production should be protected. Hardwork does not kill!
@@onelove6971 being efficient is not being "westernised". We africans are not made to suffer and do everything with manual labor. I am not against hard work or making garri. We actually need more garri produced. My family has a farm and I personally was directly involved in all the processes. We need to "modernize" the process to make it more efficient and safer. Not "westernize" it. We dont need to attribute efficiency with westernization. Africans can be modern and efficient too.
We can make this recipe very sweet, when we have dust in food, it becomes bitter. First step. Peel it, after removing and wash it washing machine. Either you make close seprater machine, put water and shake it. All dust will flow with water. Second step. don't press it, spin in washing machine or put seprater and shake it. You must prepare cotton bag and stitch jip for opening and closing. Jip in bag will give facilities to ingredients for spreading. All water will come out automatically. You will save time because, after pressing, you don't have to give time for separating. You can either use spinning of washing machine or use hand separator to remove all water. For manual spinning machines either you make spinning machines or use separater. You must experiment. Automatic washing machine spinning is 100 percent sure. Frying on fire is ok. You try in home washing machine all the process before buying washing machine. The pressing machine can be used for making nuddle. Africa must do platation of sweet potatoes and make nuddle with sweet potatoes. Go to Chinese shop and ask for sweet potatoes nuddle. You just boil sweet potato, peel it , grade it , remove fiber during grading and pass through pressing machine by nuddle mold and dry it either by sun light or by solar machine, you can keep sweet potatoes nuddle for one year. You can add spices of your choice before making nuddle. It's very easy to make, you can sell it, export it to other countries. Jai shree ram.
Please visit Nepal site, Dikhima traditional wooden grinding machine. Please inform local people. You remove skin of kassva, wash , cut in four parts, remove the middle hard parts, make Garland and sundry it or put above cooking fire stove , for drying. After drying, make powder. This is another method to preserve kassva. Jai shree ram. Jai shree ram.
