Cassava fries are therefore very popular in Kenya and is also considered to be a full -fledged streetfood as are the donuts with us in Cameroon.
Cassava benefits
Cassava is one of my favorite accompaniments, after plantain. In addition as I still know its benefits, it only makes me encourage it to introduce it into my diet😊
- Cassava is like a starchy food because it is rich in carbohydrates. It can therefore easily replace the potato.
- Rich in starch and fiber. It is very easy to digest.
- He is full. Once consumed, starch gains in volume in the stomach, which promotes the feeling of satiety. In addition to that, it brings a lot of benefits to our diet
