Fresh cassava is grated with about a tenth of its weight of magnan, a starter made from cooked cassava kept in a used jute bag, and left overnight to sour. The pulp is pressed, rubbed into granules, dried and steamed into soft, separate grains like couscous.

At a glance
Fresh cassava is grated with about a tenth of its weight of magnan, a starter made from cooked cassava kept in a used jute bag, and left overnight to sour. The pulp is pressed, rubbed into granules, dried and steamed into soft, separate grains like couscous. Made in 7 steps over 3.5 days – 3.6 days. The longest step, make the magnan, takes 3 days (Nimaga D 2012). Leuconostoc mesenteroides and At the end: Lactobacillus salivarius 20 %, L. delbrueckii 16 %, L. fermentum 12 %, L. confusus 10 % of lactic bacteria do most of the fermenting.
Attiéké is started on purpose with magnan, so it sours in about 12 to 15 hours. Gari is made without an inoculum, sours for days and is roasted dry, while attiéké is steamed and stays soft and moist.
Attiéké garbaA lower-quality attiéké with incomplete fermentation, made by shortening the normal process. It is described as a sticky product with a lot of fibre and a more acidic taste.
Safety
Fermentation, pressing and steaming cut hydrocyanic acid (cyanide) from 116 mg/kg in the roots to 3.4 mg/kg in attiéké in one study, below the 10 mg/kg Codex level the authors cite. In that study steaming removed every microbe found except Bacillus cereus spores, which fell to about 10^2 cfu/g, but all of them reappeared right after packaging, though below the Codinorm standard. In another study microbial quality was already unsatisfactory after three days at room temperature, so eat it soon.
Hazards the sources name: Bacillus cereus spores survive steaming (about 10^2 cfu/g); counts of 10^5 cfu/g or more in attiéké garba sold in Daloa; Staphylococcus aureus in intermediate products, reduced during fermentation and pressing; Enterobacter sakazakii (Cronobacter) and Klebsiella pneumoniae carried in with the magnan, cut to under 10^2 cfu/g by the acid at the end of fermentation.
The word attiéké comes from adjèkè in the Ebrié language; Bambara transporters made it atchèkè and French settlers wrote it attiéké (Ouitona). Ebrié women once told apart the adjèkè sold at market from the ahi eaten at home. In 1979 the Société Ivoirienne de Technologie Tropicale (I2T) was created to modernise attiéké production.
