Garri, Poundo or Semovita — Which Swallow Should You Choose?

Garri is quick, tangy and pairs well with egusi or okra soup. Poundo yam has a smoother, stretchier texture closer to fresh pounded yam and works beautifully with efo riro or ogbono. Semovita is the mildest of the three, soft and neutral, a good match for pepper soup or lighter stews. Try a small bag of each — all three are shelf-stable and easy to keep stocked at home.
