About Manioc

Manioc, also known as cassava or yucca, is a starchy root vegetable native to South America and widely cultivated in tropical regions worldwide. A staple in African, South American, and Southeast Asian cuisines, manioc is prized for its versatility, serving as the base for dishes like cassava flour bread, tapioca, and traditional stews. Nutritionally, manioc is rich in carbohydrates, making it a valuable energy source, especially in regions where access to other staples is limited. It contains small amounts of fiber, vitamin C, and some B vitamins. However, manioc must be properly prepared to remove naturally occurring cyanogenic compounds that can be toxic if consumed raw or improperly processed. While low in protein and fat, its high calorie content is beneficial in energy-deficient diets, though less ideal for weight management. Manioc is gluten-free, making it a popular choice for individuals with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease.
