Cassava root is a starchy root vegetable staple across African, Caribbean, and Latin American cuisines. Rich in carbohydrates and naturally gluten-free, it offers versatile culinary applications—boil, fry, roast, or process into flour for baking and cooking. This nutrient-dense tuber provides sustained energy and serves as an excellent alternative for those avoiding grains. Select firm roots without soft spots, store in a cool, dry place, and peel before preparation. An essential ingredient for traditional dishes and modern recipes alike.
