Cassava, also known as yuca or manioc, is a starchy root vegetable widely grown in tropical regions. It’s a staple food for millions due to its resilience in harsh climates and ability to thrive in poor soil. Cassava is rich in carbohydrates, making it an excellent energy source, and it’s naturally gluten-free. It also provides essential nutrients like vitamin C, manganese, and fiber. Cassava can be processed into flour, chips, or tapioca, making it a versatile ingredient in many dishes.
