About Yuca balls

Yuca Balls are a crispy and savory snack made from yuca (cassava) root, a starchy tuber native to South America and widely used in Latin American and Caribbean cuisine. The yuca is boiled, mashed, and mixed with ingredients like cheese, eggs, and seasoning, then rolled into bite-sized balls and fried until golden. Yuca is naturally gluten-free and a good source of carbohydrates, making it an excellent energy booster. It also contains essential nutrients like vitamin C, potassium, and manganese. However, because Yuca Balls are typically fried, they can be high in calories and fat, so moderation is key. Baked variations offer a lighter option for those looking to reduce their fat intake. These flavorful bites are perfect as appetizers or snacks and represent a tasty connection to Latin culinary traditions.
