Notes
Let s eat more cassava and cassava products!'. The President of the Association for the Integral Development of Women, in Dassa-Zoume in Benin, Mrs Pauline Dade Dagbede is full of praise for cassava.
'Everyone knows that cassava is now our second staple food, after maize. That s why it is more important than ever to extract more value from it, because when it comes to value, it has got a lot.
You can eat cassava in various forms: boiled, fried, grilled or ground. Or when it has been made into gari, there are many ways to eat it. So many in fact that some people say a house without gari is not a home.'
Making gari into sticks (known as cosettes in Benin) is a good way to keep the flour for making pasta, as well as bread, cakes and biscuits, just as good as anything from outside.'
