About Cassava starch

Cassava starch, derived from the root of the cassava plant, is a versatile and gluten-free starch commonly used in cooking and baking. Native to South America and widely cultivated in Africa and Southeast Asia, it is a staple in many cuisines. Cassava starch is rich in carbohydrates and provides a quick energy source, making it ideal for athletes or active individuals. It is naturally low in fat, protein, and fiber, offering a clean starch alternative for those with dietary restrictions. Popular in recipes such as tapioca pearls, flatbreads, and puddings, cassava starch is prized for its ability to thicken sauces and soups while delivering a neutral flavor. While it offers energy-boosting benefits, moderation is key, as it lacks nutritional diversity and overconsumption can lead to a calorie-dense diet. Always ensure proper preparation, as raw cassava contains compounds that can be toxic if not carefully processed.
