Mandioca is a versatile root vegetable, also known as cassava or yuca, originating from South America. Rich in carbohydrates, it's a staple in many tropical cuisines, providing a hearty texture in dishes like tapioca pudding and fufu. Packed with essential vitamins like C and B6, and minerals such as potassium and magnesium, mandioca supports energy production and overall health.
