Meanwhile, Puregro Cassava Flour (1kg) is your go-to for gluten-free baking and thickening sauces, used in everything from akpu to puff puff.
These products are sourced to maintain the freshness and purity expected in Nigerian cooking traditions, where cassava derivatives are king. They're versatile for everyday meals or special occasions like jollof rice feasts. Store in a cool, dry place to preserve quality—gari and flour last up to a year, while pounded yam keeps best sealed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prepare Puregro Pounded Yam?
Boil water, pour into a bowl with the yam flour, and knead vigorously until smooth and elastic, about 5-10 minutes. Let it rest covered for a few minutes before serving with your favourite soup. It's foolproof for that restaurant-quality fufu.
What's the best way to use Gari?
For eba, mix gari with boiling water or stock, stir until it thickens into a dough. It's also great soaked in cold water with milk and sugar for a quick breakfast garri. Experiment with it in salads for added crunch.
Is cassava flour gluten-free?
Yes, Puregro Cassava Flour is naturally gluten-free, made from fermented cassava roots. Use it as a thickener for soups or in baking for a slightly nutty flavour. It's a healthy alternative for coeliac-friendly Nigerian recipes.
How should I store these Nigerian staples?
Keep all products in airtight containers in a cool, dry cupboard away from moisture. Pounded yam and flour can last 6-12 months, while gari stays fresh even longer if sealed properly after opening.
