Cassava, baked

Cassava is a starchy root vegetable. These figures describe baked cassava, based on literature sources and calculations from raw cassava. Per 100g, it provides 661 kJ of energy and 40g of carbohydrate, which is its main energy-providing nutrient. It also contains 17mg of vitamin C and 350mg of potassium.

Carbohydrate supplies energy for the body, while vitamin C supports normal collagen formation and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Potassium contributes to normal nerve and muscle function. Baked cassava contains little fat, saturated fat or salt, although added ingredients can change these amounts. Cassava requires appropriate preparation and thorough cooking before eating. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
