Cassava
Cassava is a starchy tropical root available year-round through imports from Africa, South America, and Asia. While it has no domestic UK season, it serves as a vital gluten-free carbohydrate source. Known for its nutty flavor and versatile texture, it is rich in resistant starch, Vitamin C, and essential minerals.
