‎

‎
‎5. Shallots – Smaller, sweeter, often used in sauces.
‎

‎Why Onions Make You Cry?
‎When you cut an onion, it releases a gas that reacts with your eyes and produces a mild acid. This causes tears as your eyes try to protect themselves.
‎
‎Tip to avoid tears: Chill the onion in the fridge or cut it under running water to reduce tears.
‎
‎How to store Onion:
‎1: Keep whole onions in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place

Garrri

Garri is a granular floor made from cassava.
A well processed garri takes 3 days for the water to drain.
And the total processing takes 5 days to be ready to eat.

Health benefits of Garri:
1: weight loss

2: Perfect for diarrhoea
It addresses conditions such as diarrhoea too. Just munch on it or drink with water twice a day to feel the difference.

3: Good for eyesight
Garri is rich in Vitamin A that improves the health of your eyes and prevents future blindness or poor eyesight.

4: Great for your digestive system
Garri contains fibres that are not soluble in water. It helps in the absorption of toxins that enter your intestines. In that way, it improves your digestive health and keeps it chugging along nicely.

5: Prevents cancer
Hard to believe right? Garri also helps in preventing life-threatening diseases such as cancer.

6: perked full of folate :
Pregnant women need lots of vitamin C and folate. A cup of garri contains 15 percent of your daily folate requirement and 47 percent of the daily calcium requirement. The two vitamins also help the body’s immune system.

Note: all these health benefits are for a well processed Garri
And that's why I recommend you to buy from PrePrenwa Garri Precious Iheanacho
It is well processed and no sand.

She sells bags(100kg, 50kg, paints and half paints)
She can deliver anywhere in Nigeria.
