How cassava flakes are produced||by @vericagr
Hi great people of steemit-Garden community, today I will like to post on the method on how cassava flakes commonly known as 'Garri' in my country #Nigeria is produced.
Introduction
Firstly, cassava flakes are commonly known as garri to the Nigerian understanding and it's gotten from cassava plant which is being cultivated using it stem.
Cassava plant can grow up to and average height of about 5meter before maturity.
Some stem can mature between 6months while others can take up to one year before maturity.

Cassava plant is a tuber crop commonly grown in a place where water is sufficient and it can grow in any soil except sandy and rocky soil.
Cassava leaf can be fed to herbivores livestock like goats,sheep, and cow
Cassava just like all other tuber crops will decay if it is not harvested before it life-span expired.
