About Fried mogo

Fried Mogo, also known as fried cassava, is a popular snack originating from East African cuisine, commonly enjoyed in countries like Kenya and Tanzania. Made from cassava root, this dish involves peeling, boiling, and deep-frying the cassava pieces until golden and crispy. It is often seasoned with salt, chili, lemon juice, or a blend of spices to enhance its flavor. Cassava is naturally gluten-free and packed with carbohydrates, making it a good source of energy. It also provides fiber, essential vitamins like vitamin C, and minerals such as potassium. However, the frying process increases its fat content, particularly if prepared with unhealthy oils, which might make it less suitable for those watching their calorie or fat intake. Moderation and pairing it with a fresh salad or dipping sauce can make Fried Mogo a balanced and satisfying treat.
