Daun singkong, or cassava leaves, are a staple in Indonesian cuisine and are widely used across Southeast Asia and Africa. These vibrant green leaves come from the cassava plant, which is also known for its starchy root. Rich in nutrients, daun singkong is an excellent source of fiber, vitamins A and C, and minerals like calcium and iron. It’s particularly valued for promoting digestion, boosting immunity, and supporting bone health. Typically cooked as a side dish or blended into soups and stews, daun singkong must be boiled thoroughly to remove naturally occurring cyanogenic compounds, which can be toxic if not properly prepared. While nutritious, preparation often involves high-fat ingredients like coconut milk, adding calories to the dish. When prepared mindfully, daun singkong can be a delicious and healthy addition to your diet, offering both flavor and nourishment.
