Description
One of the toughest dilemmas we face is the ability to maintain a healthy lifestyle and still enjoy the pleasures of traditional meals we are accustomed to. Using oats as a substitute for garri (cassava flour), you can now enjoy the taste of home without the guilt that so often accompanies it.
Whole grain oats are rich in fiber, which helps to lower cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and blood sugar. Okra is a very low calorie vegetable containing high amounts of vitamin A, which is beneficial for maintaining healthy skin.
