About Farofa
Farofa is a traditional Brazilian side dish made primarily from toasted cassava flour, often mixed with ingredients like butter, onions, garlic, and occasionally bacon, eggs, or herbs for added flavor. It's a versatile accompaniment in Brazilian cuisine, frequently served alongside feijoada (a black bean stew), grilled meats, or roasted vegetables. The ingredients vary based on regional and personal preferences, offering both savory and spiced variations. Nutritionally, farofa provides carbohydrates and dietary fiber from the cassava flour, supporting energy and digestion. However, depending on the preparation, it can also be high in fats and sodium, especially when enriched with butter, bacon, or seasonings. Opting for a simpler version with less added fat makes for a lighter option. Farofa’s toasty flavor and satisfying crunch make it a beloved staple in Brazil’s diverse culinary landscape.
