The Story
What was the defining moment that led you to this innovation?
I went to a restaurant to eat one day, and found out that some people will just come and order just one kind of meal everytime. there was this guy that was telling the seller that he should only give him garri,a staple food in Nigeria made of only carbohydrate and when he was asked if he would not eat meat,he said that what(the nutrient) was in the garri uis better than what was in the meat.
