About Fried manioc flour
Fried manioc flour, known as "farofa" in Brazilian cuisine, is a versatile and flavorful dish made from toasted cassava (manioc) flour, often cooked with ingredients like butter, onions, garlic, and sometimes eggs, bacon, or herbs. Originating in South America, it is a staple side dish in Brazil, where it complements beans, rice, meats, and stews. Packed with carbohydrates, it provides a quick source of energy, though it is low in protein and fiber depending on preparation. While cassava itself is gluten-free, fried manioc flour can be calorie-dense due to added fats and other ingredients, making portion consideration important for those monitoring their fat intake. Rich in flavor and texture, farofa showcases the culinary traditions of its origin while serving as a satisfying accompaniment to a variety of meals.
