Fresh cassava, also known as manioc or cassava, is an elongated tuberous root with a thick, rough brown skin that protects a white or yellowish pulp. It is a carbohydrate-rich food and is widely consumed in tropical regions. Before eating it, it must be cooked because it contains toxic compounds that are eliminated by cooking. Its flavor is mild and slightly sweet, and it is used in various preparations, such as purees, stir-fries, and soups.
