About Farofa de ovos

Farofa de Ovos is a traditional Brazilian dish made primarily from toasted cassava flour mixed with scrambled eggs, onions, and seasonings. This comforting recipe is commonly served as a side dish, complementing grilled meats or stews in Brazilian cuisine. Cassava flour, the base ingredient, is gluten-free and provides a significant source of carbohydrates, making it an energy-rich food. The eggs contribute high-quality protein and essential vitamins like B12 and D, while onions add flavor along with antioxidants. Depending on the preparation, Farofa de Ovos can also include butter or oil, which increases its fat content. While the dish is nutritious in moderation, its caloric density—especially when enriched with fatty oils—means portion control is key for those managing their calorie intake. Its versatility and vibrant flavors make it a beloved staple in Brazilian households.
