Fried manioc, also known as fried cassava or yuca frita, is a popular dish enjoyed across various cuisines, particularly in Latin America, the Caribbean, and parts of Africa and Asia. Made from the starchy root of the cassava plant, the manioc is peeled, boiled, and then deep-fried or pan-fried to create crispy golden pieces with a fluffy interior. It is typically seasoned with salt, herbs, or spices for added flavor. Rich in carbohydrates, fried manioc is an excellent source of quick energy, but it lacks significant protein or fiber and is calorie-dense due to its frying process. Cassava contains essential nutrients like vitamin C and potassium, but moderation is key, as excessive consumption of fried foods can contribute to high fat and calorie intake. This versatile dish is often paired with dips, sauces, or seafood, making it a flavorful snack or side across many culinary traditions.
