About Cassava bread

Cassava bread is a traditional flatbread made from grated cassava root, a staple ingredient in many tropical and subtropical regions, including South America, the Caribbean, and parts of Africa. Naturally gluten-free, its primary ingredient is cassava, a starchy tuber rich in carbohydrates. Cassava bread is typically prepared without additional flour or yeast, and it can vary in texture from crispy to chewy depending on the preparation method. Nutritionally, it provides energy in the form of carbohydrates but is low in protein, fiber, and other essential nutrients. It’s often enjoyed as an accompaniment to soups, stews, or grilled dishes in traditional cuisines. While cassava bread is a great option for those with gluten sensitivities, it is best consumed in moderation as cassava contains cyanogenic compounds that must be properly processed to remove toxins, and its high carbohydrate content may not suit all dietary needs.
