🌿 MONDAY FOOD SPOTLIGHT: LET'S TALK ABOUT GARI! 🌿
If you grew up in West Africa, chances are Gari needs very little introduction! 😋 But for those discovering African foods for the first time—what exactly is Gari?
Gari is made from cassava that is processed, grated, fermented, dried, and roasted into small, crisp granules. It is especially popular across Nigeria, Ghana, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and other parts of West Africa.
🥣 And the interesting thing about Gari? There are so many ways to enjoy it!
💧 Soak it in cold water with sugar—and for some, milk and groundnuts—for a quick and refreshing meal.
🍲 Add hot water to make Eba, traditionally enjoyed with soups such as Egusi, Ogbono, and Okra.
🍚 Sprinkle it over dishes such as Waakye for extra texture and flavor.
🌿 Or enjoy it in the traditional way you grew up loving!
🇳🇬 TODAY'S SPOTLIGHT: IJEBU GARI
Have you tried Ijebu Gari?
Originating from the Ijebu region of Nigeria, Ijebu Gari is especially known for its fine texture and distinctive sour taste. That characteristic tang is exactly what makes it a favorite for many Gari lovers.
And if Ijebu Gari is your favorite—or you've never tried it and want to discover what makes it different—we've got you covered!
🛒 IJEBU GARI IS AVAILABLE NOW AT NEES GLOBAL MART!
💬 Gari lovers, tell us:
How do YOU enjoy yours—soaked, as Eba, with Waakye, or another way?

🌿FOOD SPOTLIGHT 🌿
🌿🍠 DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN EAT SWEET POTATO LEAVES?
Most of us know and enjoy sweet potatoes—but what about the leaves?
In many African homes, Sweet Potato Leaves, often called Potato Greens, are transformed into a delicious traditional stew.
And they're not just tasty! 🌿
Sweet potato leaves naturally provide important nutrients, including:
💚 Vitamin A – Supports healthy vision and immune function
🍊 Vitamin C – Helps support the body's natural defenses
🌱 Fiber – Supports healthy digestion
🩸 Iron – Helps the body produce healthy red blood cells
🦴 Calcium – Supports healthy bones and teeth
🌿 Antioxidants – Help protect the body's cells from oxidative stress
🇱🇷 A Liberian Favorite
Potato Greens are especially popular in Liberian cuisine, where the leaves can be finely chopped and slowly cooked with seasonings, meat, fish, and other traditional ingredients to create a rich and flavorful stew.
Served over a generous portion of rice... 😋🍚
It's simple, hearty African comfort food!
And for someone who has never tried Potato Greens before, it could be another wonderful way to discover the flavors of African cuisine.
👀 Now here's the question...
Would you like to see Rice & Potato Greens Stew on an upcoming NEES African Cuisine menu?
❤️ YES — Bring on the Potato Greens!
🌿 I've never tried it, but I would!
