Native to South America, Cassava is a starchy root vegetable with a nutty flavour. The crop is grown mainly in tropical regions of the world due to its drought-tolerance. Cassava is not to be consumed in its raw form as it contains cyanide, which is toxic to ingest, therefore it must be prepared or cooked correctly. It is common in the United States for people grind cassava down to make it into a starch form known as tapioca, which can be eaten as pudding or used as a thickening agent. Also, Cassava root can be eaten whole, grated or ground into flour to make bread and crackers. Cassava has great nutritional value and provides a major source of calories and carbs as well as being rich in vitamin C . Additionally, it is ideal for those with celiac disorders or food allergies as it is a gluten-free, grain-free and nut-free product.
