About Cassava
Cassava, also known as yuca, is a starchy tuber native to South America and widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. A staple in African, South American, and Southeast Asian cuisines, cassava can be boiled, baked, fried, or ground into flour. Rich in carbohydrates, cassava is an excellent source of energy, but it is low in protein, vitamins, and minerals. It contains small amounts of magnesium, potassium, and fiber, which support heart health and digestion. While naturally gluten-free, cassava must be properly prepared to remove cyanogenic compounds that can be toxic. Processed forms, such as tapioca, are less nutrient-dense than the whole root. When enjoyed in moderation and prepared correctly, cassava can be a versatile and satisfying addition to a balanced diet, offering a filling and cost-effective alternative to grains for individuals with dietary restrictions.
