What is cassava?

Cassava is also known as yuca and is cultivated in South America, Central America, and Africa.

We eat the root of this plant, which is very rich in starch. Many recipes are made with the flour of this starch, especially for breadmaking.

The great advantage of cassava for many people is that it does not contain gluten. In fact, this recipe is similar to other types of cassava breads that are made in some countries like Colombia or Paraguay.

There are two varieties of cassava: sour or bitter and sweet. This second is the one we will use for our cassava bread.

It is essential to stress that raw cassava should never be eaten, as it is toxic to health.

Are dairy products good for you?

There are different factors that influence the consumption of dairy products:

• Milk and its derivatives that are consumed today are generally unhealthy products because of the amount of added substances they contain, such as hormones and antibiotics.

Ecological dairy products from free range cows would be the exception.

• There are a lot of people who don’t digest lactose well because over the years we usually lose the lactase enzyme in our body.
• Dairy products are linked to a buildup of mucus in the airways.
• Some people feel their face or body swell if they drink milk at night.
• Dairy products can cause skin problems like dermatitis, psoriasis, etc.

However, some people consume milk and dairy products throughout their lives without experiencing any of these issues.

It is better to reduce your sugar intake

If we want to eat healthy, we should acquire the good habit of reducing the amount of sugar and sugary foods that we eat.

If we could see how much sugar is in the drinks and sweets we eat every day, we’d be surprised.

We can choose, as far as possible, sweet products made from honey, cane sugar, Stevia, agave syrup, coconut sugar, etc.

Our palate will gradually get used to these new flavors, as we will also lose our addiction to sugar.
