Mandioca Cozida — Prepared with raw peeled food-grade sweet cassava, drinking water, fine salt.

Ingredients

1000 g — raw peeled food-grade sweet cassava
2500 ml — drinking water
2 g — fine salt

Preparation

Use only known food-grade sweet cassava from a reliable supplier, never bitter or unidentified roots.

Remove the skin and underlying layer completely, rinse and split into chunks.

Boil uncovered in plenty of the listed water for 30–40 minutes until fully cooked and tender throughout.

Drain and discard all cooking water.

Remove the hard central fibre, lightly salt and serve.

Never eat cassava raw; this method does not process bitter varieties.
