Cassava puree is a smooth, creamy dish made from cassava, a starchy root vegetable native to South America and widely cultivated in Africa and Asia. Its mild flavor and velvety texture make it a versatile ingredient in many cuisines, often used as a side dish or base for recipes. Cassava is naturally gluten-free and a rich source of carbohydrates, making it a good energy booster. It contains small amounts of fiber, vitamin C, and essential minerals like magnesium. However, cassava must be properly prepared to remove natural toxins called cyanogenic glycosides, which can be harmful if consumed in raw or undercooked forms. While cassava puree is low in fat, its high starch content can impact blood sugar levels, so portion control is important. Ideal for gluten-free diets and hearty meals, cassava puree is both nourishing and adaptable to various culinary styles.
