Cassava is a starchy root vegetable. The figures here describe cassava boiled in unsalted water. Per 100g, it provides 34g of carbohydrate and 552 kJ of energy, with 17mg of vitamin C and 0.01g of salt. It contains small amounts of fat and protein.

Carbohydrate is a source of energy for the body, while vitamin C supports normal collagen formation and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. The salt content reflects preparation without added salt; adding salt or salty sauces increases the amount in the finished dish. Full nutritional figures are provided in the tables below.
