About Biscoito polvilho

Biscoito Polvilho, also known as Brazilian tapioca biscuit, is a traditional snack originating in Brazil. Made primarily from polvilho (cassava starch), water, oil, and salt, this puffed, airy treat is gluten-free and often baked or fried to achieve a light and crispy texture. It’s a staple in Brazilian cuisine, particularly enjoyed as a snack or alongside coffee. While its simplicity appeals to those seeking minimal ingredients, Biscoito Polvilho is low in protein and fiber, offering limited nutritional value. Typically, it contains minimal fat if baked but can be higher in calories and saturated fats when fried, depending on the preparation. Its gluten-free nature makes it suitable for individuals with gluten intolerance, but it’s best consumed in moderation due to its high carbohydrate content and lack of substantial nutrients needed for a balanced diet.
