Cassava

Cassava is a starchy, tuberous root that has been cultivated for centuries in tropical regions. This versatile food is an excellent source of complex carbohydrates and dietary fiber. Usable in various forms—flour, starch, or fresh root—cassava lends itself to numerous culinary preparations. Naturally gluten-free, it is suitable for gluten-free diets. Its mild, neutral flavor makes it an ideal ingredient for both sweet and savory dishes, from side dishes to desserts.
