About Aipim
Aipim, also known as cassava, yuca, or manioc, is a starchy root vegetable native to South America and widely used in African, Asian, and Caribbean cuisines. This versatile crop is rich in carbohydrates, making it an excellent source of energy. Aipim is naturally gluten-free, contains small amounts of essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin C, potassium, and magnesium, and is also high in dietary fiber, aiding digestion. However, it should always be cooked properly, as raw cassava contains natural cyanogenic compounds that can be toxic if not removed. Popular in dishes like Brazilian farofa, West African fufu, and Caribbean cassava bread, aipim is often boiled, fried, or mashed. While it is nutrient-dense, its high carbohydrate content means it should be consumed in moderation, particularly for those managing blood sugar levels.
