Since the outbreak of Lassa fever in Nigeria, people have been skeptical about drinking garri following warnings by health officials due to the nature of its exposure to rat infestation. A netizen named Andy Blaze has shared the secrets of safely taking cassava flakes without fear of contacting the virus.
Read his views below:
1. Put the garri in a dry frying pan/pot.
2. Place it on the fire and allow it to fry for 10mins so that the heat will kill the Lassa virus.
3. Pour the garri out on a wide tray & allow it to get cold.
4. Put the garri on a plate and add the necessary (sugar, salt, glucose, powder, honey, milk, Milo, groundnut, aki, water etc). This is strictly based on ur choice but if u want to add all, no problem.
Then ur delicious and tasty drinking garri is ready for consumption...Thank me later.
