6 Tips for choosing fresh and delicious cassava
The weight of cassava should be proportional to its size. If the cassava is too large but light in weight, it may be dry and lacking in taste.
To ensure freshness and flavor, carefully examine the outer part of the cassava and avoid overly soft ones.
Avoid purchasing cassava with dark yellow skin or damaged exteriors, as it can affect the quality of the flesh.
Smaller cassava stems tend to indicate better flesh quality.
