*GARRI AND YOUR EYES : THE MYTHS* Does Garri really cause Eye Problem? 👇 📌Cassava tubers usually contain a substance called cyanide. Before cassava is processed into Garri and Fufu, it usually contains cyanide at an unsafe level. This is why you should never consider eating raw cassava. 📌Now, the level of cyanide in cassava depends on the cassava species. The sweet cassava contains a lower level of cyanide, while the bitter cassava is highly rich in cyanide Remember, Garri is gotten through cassava…. 📌Normally, this cyanide is available to protect the cassava plant from herbivores and insects because it’s toxic to them. However, for humans, we are not exposed to this harmful amount of cyanide because of the processed form of cassava we consume. 📌Cassava goes through fermentation, drying, and frying process before we get Garri. These processes help to reduce the cyanide concentration to a harmless level. But what’s the guarantee that all farmers do it the right way? 📌Now, some farmers are not patient enough to go through the normal processes. They may skip some steps or reduce the number of days required for an ideal Garri processing. They probably do this to make their money faster, save time , or reduce stress. 📌When Garri is processed without going through the required steps and processes, the end product will usually contain some unsafe amount of cyanide. If you’ve been taking properly processed Garri, you have nothing to worry about. But if you have been buying a poorly processed Garri, you may have been taking in an unsafe amount of cyanide. 📌If this is consistent, it can lead to poor oxygen supply to eye tissues, leading to severe macular degeneration. 🍭Some symptoms include -Blurry vision - Needing brighter than usual light to read -Difficulty adapting to an environment with low light. You may also be viewing straight lines as though they are bent. 📌Button line Garri does not necessarily blind the eyes, but poorly processed Garri has some negative effects on the eyes and can lead to eye problems. This is strictly due to high cyanide content. Also, it is important to note that cyanide effects can also affect the brain and heart where oxygen is in high demand. I hope our farmers see this and help us do better 🙏 Encourage the ones you know to do it the right way.
