Cassava is one plant 🌱 tuber we neglect and not making use of its full potential in our homes. Although in my country Nigeria 🇳🇬, we enjoy cassava in different ways like the cassava salad 🥗 with herbs 🌿when it’s boiled and cut into pieces , cassava flakes that we make into granules for stirring like semolina and cassava pudding.

This very recipe I prepared to share with my vegan family is one best ways to enjoy cassava because its very easy, simple and at the same time delicious with coconut 🌴🥥by its side. Its one recipe you will crave for especially during hot weather since its a wet snack and can be chilled in the refrigerator before consuming.

This traditional Nigeria 🇳🇬 snack contains natural carbohydrates and one you can reduce as adults once you boil the cassava, peel and slice them, then soak it over night for best result.
