About Cassava fries
Cassava fries are crispy, golden strips made from the root of the cassava plant, a starchy tuber native to South America and widely consumed in African, Latin American, and Caribbean cuisines. Prepared by peeling, boiling, and frying the cassava, these fries have a fluffy center and subtly sweet flavor. Cassava is naturally gluten-free and rich in carbohydrates, making it an excellent source of energy. It also contains essential nutrients like vitamin C, manganese, and fiber. However, cassava must be properly cooked to remove naturally occurring compounds called cyanogenic glycosides, which can be harmful if consumed raw. While delicious and satisfying, cassava fries are calorie-dense and should be eaten in moderation, especially when deep-fried. For a healthier twist, they can be baked or air-fried to reduce oil content. Perfect as a snack or side dish, cassava fries are a tasty and nutrient-packed alternative to traditional potato fries.
