Cassava is a starchy root vegetable. These figures describe frozen cassava in its raw state, rather than after cooking. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with 36g per 100g, and contains little fat, at 0.2g. It also supplies vitamin C and potassium, with 18mg and 360mg per 100g respectively.
Carbohydrate is a source of energy, while potassium supports normal nerve and muscle function. Vitamin C helps the body form connective tissue and absorb iron from plant foods. Raw cassava contains compounds that can release cyanide, so it must be properly prepared and thoroughly cooked before eating; freezing alone does not make it safe. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
