About Yuca fries

Yuca fries, made from the starchy root vegetable known as cassava, are a popular dish in Latin American, Caribbean, and African cuisines. These fries are typically crafted by peeling and slicing the fibrous yuca into thick strips, boiling them until tender, and then frying until golden and crispy. Naturally gluten-free, yuca is a rich source of carbohydrates and provides small amounts of fiber, vitamin C, and potassium. While its dense texture and mild flavor make it a satisfying and versatile side dish, yuca fries are often deep-fried, increasing their fat and calorie content. They can be a comforting alternative to potato fries, especially when paired with fresh herbs or seasonings, but portion control is key to keeping them a healthy choice. For a lighter option, baking or air frying yuca can reduce added fats while maintaining their irresistible crunch.
