Cassava in children’s and family menus: caution, not fear

Many parents are hesitant to give cassava to their children, and rightly so. But when properly processed, it is a valuable source of energy and nutrients.

Tips for parents:

• Start with small portions.

• Do not use homemade flour without soaking and heat treatment.

• Boil or fry well – better to overcook than undercook.

• Combine with legumes, meat or eggs.

• Never let children taste raw cassava, even while you are cooking it.
