Cassava 1kg

Description

Cassava, also known as yuca or manioc, is a starchy root vegetable widely consumed in African, Asian, Caribbean, and Latin American cuisines. Known for its versatility and mild, slightly nutty flavor, cassava is a staple food in many parts of the world and serves as an excellent gluten-free alternative to wheat and other grains.

Rich in carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients like vitamin C and potassium, cassava root is a great energy source and forms the base of many traditional dishes. It can be boiled, steamed, fried, baked, or grated to make various foods such as cassava fries, cassava fufu, tapioca, or flatbreads.

Fresh cassava is typically peeled and cooked thoroughly before eating, as it contains naturally occurring compounds that must be neutralized through proper preparation. It has a firm texture that becomes soft and fluffy when cooked, making it ideal for both savory and sweet recipes.

Carefully harvested and packed to retain freshness, cassava is available in both fresh and frozen forms for convenience. Whether you’re cooking traditional African stews, Caribbean dishes, or experimenting with global cuisine, cassava delivers natural flavor, nourishment, and culinary flexibility.
