Cassava is grown in tropical regions because it can withstand harsh weather conditions. Cassava tubers are a rich source of calories and carbohydrates. We can eat the whole cassava tubers by boiling/steaming, cooking sweet soup, cooking sticky rice or grinding them into flour to make cakes… Few people know that cassava tubers are the main ingredient in the production of tapioca starch used in cooking.
