Cassava is a starchy root vegetable. The figures here describe raw cassava, which mainly provides carbohydrate, with smaller amounts of protein and fat. Per 100g, it contains 37g of carbohydrate and provides 607 kJ of energy. It also contains 31mg of vitamin C and 330mg of potassium.
Carbohydrate provides energy, while vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Cassava must not be eaten raw because it contains compounds that can release cyanide. Correct preparation and thorough cooking are essential to reduce these compounds. Preparation can also change its nutrient content. Full nutritional figures for raw cassava are in the tables below.
