Description:
Cassava, also known as manioc or yuca, is a starchy root vegetable native to South America, but widely cultivated in tropical regions around the world. Cassava is highly valued for its ability to thrive in poor soil conditions and its adaptability in various cooking methods. It can be consumed wet (fresh) or dried, offering a range of textures and flavors depending on its preparation.
Appearance: Wet cassava has a thick, brown, fibrous skin and white or cream-colored flesh. When freshly peeled, the root has a moist texture and is often used immediately in cooking.
Taste: Wet cassava has a mild, slightly sweet flavor with a firm texture. It is typically boiled, steamed, or fried, absorbing the flavors of surrounding ingredients. The natural starches provide a smooth, creamy consistency when cooked.
Uses:
Appearance: Dry cassava is processed by peeling, washing, and then drying the root, which results in a hard, light brown texture that is more shelf-stable than fresh cassava. It can be found as flakes, flour, or chips.
Taste: Dried cassava has a more concentrated flavor, which is earthy and mildly sweet. It becomes soft when cooked, but retains a firmer texture compared to wet cassava.
