After eight months to one year of planting, the cassava tubers will be ready for harvesting. you have to go to the farm clear it cut down the cassava stems, then the cassava tubers can be uprooted from the ground,the cassava stems can be used for another planting season.

This process is very essential, the cassava tubers have to be pearled, this process is stressful it takes some hours to do this depending on the quantity of the cassava tubers harvested. After the pearling the next stage is the washing of the cassava tubers then grinding follows.

This process is also important, the grinded cassava has to be dried becuase there is water in it. there are many ways of drying up the grinded cassava, but the one we used is a local method using sticks and a rice bag.

This is the final process and one of the most important processes, sheaving the grinded dried cassava is very important because is a process of separating shafts from the raw garri. After which the frying process takes place. The frying materials are as follows, a metal pot, turning stick, fire wood used as the heat energy.

Ohh my God, this your way of drying your cassava water has reminded me of the past. One funny thing is that, attimes, if the rope cut, one must hit his or her bombom on the floor. I enjoyed it then

Funny you.you are welcome
