    Obasanjo Exports Cassava Bread To Tanzania by I-B.(f): 5:22pm On May 15
    grin grin

    Cassava bread is a Nigerian innovation in bakery.
    Nigeria’s former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, has begun a mission to introduce African countries to Nigeria’s innovation in bakery, Cassava Bread.
    Mr. Obasanjo, a goodwill ambassador for the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, IITA, recently took the bread to Tanzania where he publicly munched the bread with the President of the United Republic of Tanzania, Mrisho Jakaya Kikwete.
    Former President Benjamin Mkapa of the United Republic of Tanzania also ate the bread for the first time. The leaders supported the innovation, noting that it would bring several benefits to the continent.
    The 40 per cent cassava bread was first developed by IITA in Nigeria, as part of efforts to boost the utilization of cassava and create market for farmers.
    President Kikwete after inaugurating the IITA Science Building in Dar es Salaam on Monday commended IITA for the bread technology, saying that the bread had an “excellent” taste.
    “There is no difference between this bread and the normal bread we are used to,” he added.
    Mr. Obasanjo encouraged the Tanzania President to promote the use of cassava in confectionaries in his country to
    transform agriculture. He noted that the use of cassava flour in bread would stimulate the demand for the root crop, create jobs and, more importantly, make farmers proud.
    Mr. Obasanjo, in 2002 initiated a policy on 10 percent inclusion in bread under “the Presidential Initiative on Cassava,” program. The program which was implemented by IITA and national partners, drove the demand for cassava, increased productivity by about 10 million tons in 6 years, and made Nigeria the top world producer of cassava.

    On getting to work this morning, my Oga at the top came to me very happy. He had a brown envelope in his hands. I was getting excited, maybe my salary is to be increased, or I was to be sent to a conference. My eyes almost bulging as he opened the envelope....and there was the picture of OBJ! My boss and OBJ shaking hands in Tanzania. He was so happy and was say: 'Thats me shaking hands with CHIEF Obasanjo, your ex-president'. I had to laugh along and be happy.
    Sorry for diverting the post.

    CASSAVA BREAD!- MAKING IT IN BELIZE,SOUTH AMERICA BY AFRICAN DESCENDENTS!- IT IS THE FUTURE SUCCESS STORY FOR AFRICAN AGRICULTURE WHEN WE TRANSFER AND UPDATE THIS TO VILLAGES AND HAMLETS,THEN CITIES IN NIGERIA,AFRICA TO PUSH OUT UNHEALTHY WHITE OYINBO BREAD THAT IS DRAINING OUR ECONOMIC RESOURCES!-FROM COUPLEOFPICS.COM


    Making Cassava bread (Belize 2009)

    Cassava bread (also known as Ereba) is a staple food in many tribal villages in Central and South America. Making Ereba is a labour intensive process I was happy to witness a in a small Garifuna village of south Belize.
    Cassava is the root of perennials shrub that grows three to six feet tall and has a large palmate leaves and greenish, yellow to greenish, purple male or female flowers. While cassava was originally grown in a savannah climate, it can also be grown in climates with heavy rainfall. This root is classified as bitter or sweet depending upon the quantity of cyanogenic glycoside (cyanide) present. The amount of cyanide present is determined by climate and soil conditions but since the cyanide is a toxin, cassava must be usually cooked before it is eaten. Cassava produce more calories per unit of food than any other crop in the world, except for the possibly sugar cane. For this reason, cassava is a staple crop for close to 500 million people in Central America, South America, Africa and Asia. One still needs to eat fruits, vegetables and protein products as cassava lacks in vitamins, minerals, and proteins. In Africa, however, this is not so much a problem as the much needed vitamins and protein are obtained by eating cassava leaves as vegetable.
    While harvesting has been traditionally done by women, today it is not uncommon for men to help with the harvesting of cassava. Once the root is out of the ground, it must be handled with the utmost of care as damage means a very short shelf life. Within 48 hours, cassava must be prepared or temporarily preserved by encasing it in paraffin or wax, peeling and freezing the cassava, strong it in a plastic bag, packed in moist mulch. These measures can extend the shelf life to three or four weeks allowing for exportation. Cassava bread has a much longer shelf life than the cassava root and when it is not exposed to moisture can be kept for several years.








    Once the cassava has been transported back to the village outer layer must peeled and then the root soaked in a tub of water. Grating follows either by using a handmade grating board or more recently using an electric grater. This handmade grater, called and "egi", is a wooden board embedded with quartzite bits which protrude just enough to pulverize the cassava root as it is passed over it. Historically, the women sang "Eremwu Euu", a traditional grating song while accomplishing this laborious task.










    The flour contains cyanogenic glycoside that will need to be drained. The flour is stuffed in a long, snake like woven basket called "ruguma" which is then attached to a tree limb. The other end is attached to a long weighted pole. While the weight of the flour and the gravitational pull cause the toxic juice to come rushing out, the weight of the men or women who sit on top of the pole make the task go faster.








    The cyanogenic glycoside juice has various uses. It can be used as a starch agent or when boiling and sweetened in the sun it can be used as an antiseptic, to help preserve meat and to flavour foods. This preservative is called "carareep". In addition, the fermented juice makes intoxicating liquor.






    Following the juice extractions, the flour is baked on a thick iron "comal", heated with firewood. It takes approximately six big bags of cassava roots to make approximately forty cassava bread. The size of the bread will differ with the size of the comal.








    Involving a traditional process and being used in rituals making and consuming of cassava bread spiritually connects Garinagu ("Garifunas") with their past and ancestors. Being a natural resource cassava gives the Garinagu strong sense of the land it comes from and finally as it is a daily bread which requires a group effort to produce, the process of preparation brings the Garinagu closer to each other. Making cassava bread is a time for socialization. It is a time that helps to unify the committee and it gives Garifuna women a strong sense of purpose and accomplishment.
