Biscoito de Polvilho is a traditional Brazilian snack made primarily from cassava starch (polvilho), eggs, oil or butter, and salt. Often baked or fried, these light and airy crackers have a crispy texture and a slightly salty flavor, making them a popular treat in Brazilian cuisine. Naturally gluten-free due to the use of cassava starch, they are suitable for gluten-sensitive individuals. However, they are low in protein and fiber, providing minimal nutritional value beyond quick carbohydrates. The preparation method can impact their healthiness—fried versions are higher in fat, while baked ones are a lighter option. Biscoito de Polvilho is best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet, often paired with coffee or tea for a delightful Brazilian snack experience.
