Geblek is made from quite simple ingredients such as tapioca flour, garlic and salt.
However, the manufacturing process requires quite a lot of patience, so many people prefer to buy cooked geblek which is sold in various corners of Kulon Progo rather than making it themselves.
In souvenir shops, geblek is also available in raw form. Its shelf life of 4-5 days makes it very suitable as a souvenir.
The savory taste, combined with the chewy texture, gives its connoisseurs a special sensation.
Stunning taste innovation
As time goes by, geblek now comes in various flavors. Flavoring powders such as barbecue, sambal balado, and grilled corn are innovations that further enrich the taste of Geblek.
