About Cassava chip
Cassava chips are a crunchy snack made from thinly sliced cassava root, a starchy tuber native to South America and widely cultivated in Africa and Asia. Often fried or baked, these chips provide a satisfying alternative to potato chips. Cassava is naturally gluten-free and packed with carbohydrates, making it an excellent energy source. However, it’s low in protein, fiber, and essential nutrients compared to other snacks. Cassava chips are frequently seasoned with spices, offering a flavorful addition to diets around the globe, especially in tropical cuisines. While delicious, their nutritional profile varies depending on preparation—fried versions are higher in fat and calories, which might be a concern for weight-conscious individuals. Baking or air-frying is a healthier option. Additionally, it’s essential to consume cassava only after proper preparation, as raw cassava contains compounds that can be toxic. These chips are best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
