Product information
Cassava is a woody shrub with compound leaves, small green flowers and large, fleshy, starch-rich roots that have a similar shape to sweet potatoes. Leaves for consumption can be produced throughout the year if the plants receive sufficient water.
Cassava is a source of resistant starch, which scientists suggest can boost a person's gut health by helping nurture beneficial gut bacteria. Resistant starches remain relatively unchanged as they pass through the digestive tract
Fresh roots are peeled and used the same way as potatoes they can be boiled, fried, baked and made into flour, semolina or flat breads. The refined starch from the tubers, known as tapioca pearls, is used in soups, puddings and dumplings. Tapioca flour can be used as a source of gluten-free flour to make bread and other baked products that are suitable for people with intolerance to gluten. It is essential to cook both cassava root and leaves for a minimum of 15 minutes to neutralise harmful chemical compounds.
