Eba — Nigerian Swallow

Description

Eba, also known as garri swallow, is one of Nigeria’s most popular traditional meals. At Naija Home Food, our Eba is made fresh daily from clean, high-quality garri and hot water, giving it a soft yet firm texture.
Pair it perfectly with soups like Egusi, Ogbono, or Afang for a truly satisfying Naija meal.

Eba is primarily a source of carbohydrates for energy and is rich in fiber, which aids digestion and satiety. Its specific nutritional benefits can vary, with yellow eba offering a significant amount of vitamin A, which is crucial for vision, immune health, and fighting vitamin A deficiency. Both types of eba provide other minerals like potassium, iron, and folate.
