About Cassava leave
Cassava leaves, derived from the cassava plant native to South America and widely cultivated in Africa and Asia, are a nutrient-dense green commonly used in traditional dishes across these regions. These vibrant green leaves are rich in protein, fiber, and essential vitamins such as A, C, and B vitamins, as well as minerals like iron, magnesium, and potassium. Cassava leaves are especially popular in African cuisines, where they are often stewed with spices, peanut sauce, or coconut milk. Despite their health benefits, cassava leaves must be properly prepared because they contain cyanogenic compounds that can be toxic when uncooked. Through boiling or soaking, these compounds are neutralized, making the leaves safe to consume. Known for their earthy, slightly bitter flavor, cassava leaves are a nutritious addition to meals, supporting immune health, digestion, and energy metabolism when prepared responsibly.
