Cassava is a healthy vegetable root. Not only does it taste amazing but also can help improve your health in a number of ways. Why not turn this root into a delicious healthy breakfast. A great way to start your day.
First cut off the ends of the cassava then continue to slice the rest into thick pieces. Once sliced, take each cassava pieces and make a slightly deep cut vertically in order to remove the skin. Using the knife pull off the skin from the cut. Once it's pulled out you may use your hands to easily pull off the thick skin from the cassava. When everything is peeled you may cut the slice into two making it smaller in size for a quick boil.
Use a deep pot to boil the cassava in. Add enough water to cover the roots, then add a tsp of salt and turmeric powder to let it boil for 20-30 min.
To check if it's boiled, use a fork to poke the cassava piece and if it goes in smoothly it is ready for the next step. Drain the excessive water and set it aside for later use.
