About Manioca
Manioca, also known as cassava, is a starchy root vegetable native to South America but widely cultivated across Africa and Asia. A dietary staple in many tropical regions, it forms the base of dishes like tapioca, farinha, and garri. Manioca is naturally gluten-free and rich in carbohydrates, making it an excellent energy source. It contains small amounts of fiber, vitamin C, and key minerals like potassium and magnesium. However, it should be carefully prepared—raw manioca contains cyanogenic compounds that can be toxic if consumed without proper cooking or processing. As a versatile ingredient, it’s used in savory and sweet recipes, from stews to puddings. While manioca provides sustained energy, its nutritional profile is low in protein, fats, and other essential vitamins, making it a food best consumed as part of a balanced diet.
