Mogo, also known as cassava or yuca, is a starchy root vegetable native to South America and widely embraced in African and South Asian cuisines. Typically prepared by boiling, frying, or baking, mogo has a mild flavor and chewy texture, making it a versatile ingredient in savory dishes and snacks. Rich in carbohydrates and a good source of fiber, mogo provides sustained energy and aids digestion. It also contains essential vitamins such as vitamin C, along with potassium and magnesium. However, it’s naturally low in protein and fat, and preparing mogo through deep-frying or with high-calorie toppings may increase its calorie content significantly. Additionally, raw cassava contains cyanogenic compounds, which require proper cooking to neutralize. Mogo is a satisfying, gluten-free option and a nutritious alternative for those seeking to diversify their diet.
