Greetings my friends, hope all is good. I thank the organizers of this contest and I also thank my very good friend @negro-bby for inviting me to the contest.

What is cassava?

Cassava is a tasty vegetable, with starch or tuber. Traditionally South America, is a major source of calories and carbs for people in many countries. Nigeria, Thailand, and Indonesia are the world's leading producers of cassava.

It is grown in tropical regions of the world because of its ability to withstand harsh growing conditions. In fact, it is one of the most drought-tolerant plants.

Although there are both sweet and spicy varieties of cassava, sweet cassava is very common in the United States, where it is often called the yuca, manioc, or Brazilian arrowroot.

The most widely used part of the cassava plant is the root, which has an amazingly versatile function. You can eat it whole, grated, or ground into flour for use on bread and dishes.

Cassava root is used to produce tapioca, a type of starch, and garri, a product similar to tapioca.

People who are allergic to food can benefit from using cassava root in cooking and baking because it is free of gluten, grains, and nuts.

It is important to note that you should cook the cassava root before eating it, as it can be dangerous if eaten raw.

Cassava may offer some potential health benefits.

It contains starchy starch

Cassava has a lot of starchy, non-digestible starch and has the same properties as soluble fiber.

Eating foods high in starchy starch can benefit your health in many ways

First of all, starchy starch nourishes beneficial bacteria in your gut and can help reduce inflammation and promote digestive health

A good source of vitamin C

Vitamin C plays a vital role in many aspects of life, including the immune system.

In fact, research shows that vitamin C can help protect against oxidative stress and support your body's immune system.

Vitamin C also protects against skin damage and promotes the production of collagen, a type of protein found throughout your body in your bones, skin, muscles and joints.

Conclusion

Cassava is a type of root vegetable. It is considered a staple food in many countries because of its unique ability to withstand severe growth conditions and relatively high calorie congestion.

In addition to being flexible, it is a good source of starchy starch and vitamin C.

However, it requires appropriate correction to avoid serious health consequences. In particular, avoid eating it raw. It is also worth noting that processed varieties such as tapioca may be inferior to essential micronutrients.

However, cassava root makes excellent additions to fried, soups, baked goods, and desserts and is often found in traditional dishes around the world.
