If the yam is proud, the cassava is arrogant. Unlike the yam it is not fat, it is lean in texture, slim in appearance. It’s insides contains a rich fiber sinewy, and tenuous.
If it wanted to boast, it continues for hours without pausing about it’s many servings, it could probably say ‘me you can cook and I will be delicious, and you can slice and fry and I will be your crunchy crispy delight, or you can shred, grind and steam dry, and then, then my dear fellow, I become something totally incredibly amazing.
There is nothing you cannot do with me’ “I’ it might raise its head like a proud peacock and declare “I alone single handedly will give you breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and if you play your cards right it would say with a smock and a glint in it’s eyes’, I will also give you abundant snack along the way.
Indeed, the cassava is the secret weapon of the fiber food class, as it will give you two types of sugars, glucose and fructose both sugars contained in sucrose. Cassava boasts with a roaring voice, ‘like a towering tropical oak holding court and looking down at everything, in the middle of a lush forest ‘The energy I give you will last all day long’.
And you will be coming back again, and again, to have a taste of good food and good health.
