About Mandioquinha
Mandioquinha, also known as Peruvian parsnip or arracacha, is a root vegetable native to South America, widely grown and cherished in Brazilian cuisine. It boasts a mildly sweet and nutty flavor with a creamy texture, making it a popular choice for soups, purées, and stews. Nutritionally, mandioquinha is a rich source of complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and essential minerals such as potassium, which supports muscle and heart health. It's also packed with vitamin A for eye health and immune function. Mandioquinha is naturally gluten-free, low in fat, and easy to digest, making it suitable for various diets.
