About Mandioca
Mandioca, also known as cassava or yucca, is a starchy root vegetable native to South America and widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions. A staple in many cuisines, it is a dietary mainstay in countries like Brazil, Nigeria, and Thailand, often used to make flour, tapioca, or served boiled, fried, or steamed. Mandioca is rich in carbohydrates, making it an excellent source of energy, but it is naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for those with gluten intolerance. It contains important nutrients such as vitamin C, manganese, and fiber, supporting immune health, digestion, and overall metabolic function. However, raw mandioca contains cyanogenic compounds that must be removed through proper cooking to avoid toxicity. While highly nutritious when prepared correctly, its high starch content makes moderation key for individuals managing blood sugar levels or those on calorie-conscious diets.
