Garri is more than a staple food in Nigeria, it’s a cultural symbol, a survival meal, and one of the most versatile cassava products loved across Africa and beyond. But as simple as garri may look, producing clean, sand-free, hygienic, and premium-quality garri requires scientific precision, the right equipment, and strict quality control. At Xtreme Returns Farm, we have perfected a modern, hygienic, and eco-friendly garri production process that stands out in both local and international markets.
Here how Xtreme Returns Farm produces high-quality garri while maintaining global food safety standards and sustainable practices:
- Premium Cassava Selection: The foundation of quality garri starts with high-quality cassava roots. At Xtreme Returns Farm, we cultivate 100% organic, NON-GMO cassava, free from harmful pesticides and chemical residues. Only mature, healthy, high-starch tubers between 10–14 months are selected for processing. Our cassava varieties are chosen for high starch content, low cyanide levels, better fermentation results, clean, crisp garri texture. This careful selection ensures a smooth, crunchy, sand-free garri with excellent flavor.
- Hygienic Harvesting and Cleaning: Immediately after harvesting, the cassava roots are transported to our processing centre to prevent post-harvest deterioration.
The roots are washed using high-pressure, clean-water systems that remove soil and impurities without allowing sand to cling to the tubers. Our zero-sand washing method ensures that no contaminants reach the grating stage and the product meets national and international hygiene standards - Mechanical Grating: Xtreme Returns Farm uses stainless steel grating equipment to guarantee food-safe contact surfaces. This prevents contamination, eliminates rust or metallic taste, and keeps the entire process hygienic. Our mechanical grater produces fine, uniform mash that ferments evenly, fries faster and produces a lighter, fluffier garri
- Controlled Fermentation: Fermentation is the heart of garri production and Xtreme Returns Farm takes it seriously. We use controlled 2–4 day fermentation cycles, depending on customer preference and market demand. Each batch is fermented in clean, food-grade sacks and monitored to prevent spoilage or microbial contamination.
- Efficient Pressing and Moisture Control: After fermentation, the cassava mash is pressed using industrial hydraulic pressers to remove excess water. Achieving the proper moisture level is key for a longer shelf life and mould prevention. Our pressing method is environmentally friendly and ensures uniform dehydration.
- Clean, Smokeless, Stainless-Steel Roasting: Roasting is where garri gets its identity aroma, texture, and crispness. Unlike traditional open-fire methods, at Xtreme Returns Farm we use stainless steel, smokeless, temperature-regulated garri fryers. This ensures a cleaner, fresher taste, no soot or smoke contamination, zero sand, dust, or airborne particles and perfectly roasted garri every time. For yellow garri, we use pure red palm oil, free from additives, ensuring a rich golden color and delicious aroma.
- Sieving, Cooling, and Hygienic Packaging: After roasting, the garri is sieved to remove lumps, cooled in covered hygienic trays and packed in food-grade, moisture-proof, airtight packaging. This preserves freshness and prevents contamination during storage or transport. Our products are packaged in consumer-ready packs or bulk export sacks, depending on customer orders. This makes our garri suitable for international buyers in the US, UK, Canada, EU, and beyond.
