Fried cassava, also known as yuca fries, is a popular dish originating from Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia. Cassava is a starchy root vegetable with a mild flavor, often boiled and deep-fried to achieve a crispy exterior and soft, fluffy interior. It is usually seasoned with salt and spices or served with dips like garlic sauce or spicy chili. Cassava is rich in carbohydrates, making it an energy-boosting food, but it contains minimal protein and fiber. It provides essential nutrients such as vitamin C, magnesium, and potassium. However, its deep-fried preparation increases calorie and fat content, making it less healthy when consumed in excess. To enjoy fried cassava more healthily, consider baking or air-frying instead of deep-frying. As a gluten-free option, it is well-suited for individuals with gluten sensitivities, making it a versatile choice in various cuisines worldwide.
