About Cassaba
Cassaba, commonly known as casaba melon, is a sweet, mildly flavored fruit belonging to the cucumber and squash family. Native to Asia Minor and introduced to the Mediterranean centuries ago, cassaba is popular in cuisines across the Middle East and North Africa. Its golden-yellow rind encases pale green or white flesh with a subtle honey-like taste. Cassaba is low in calories and fat while being a good source of hydration due to its high water content. It provides essential vitamins such as vitamin C, which supports immunity, and small amounts of fiber that aid digestion. While cassaba is naturally sweet, it has a low glycemic index, making it suitable for balanced diets. However, its sugar content should be considered by those managing blood sugar levels. Cassaba can be enjoyed fresh or incorporated into fruit salads and smoothies for a refreshing treat.
