YUCCA

Cassava, also known as cassava, is a starchy tuber deeply rooted in global diets. As a major source of calories and carbohydrates, it serves as a cornerstone of the diet. Cassava is gluten-free and provides sustained energy due to its complex starch content. While it may be low in protein and vitamins, supplementing it with other nutritional sources can compensate for these deficiencies. This versatile tuber can be prepared in a variety of ways, from roasted to fried, and is commonly processed into cassava flour, a predominant component in gluten-free culinary applications.
