Lakpura Manioc- මඤ්ඤොක්කා (500g)

Manioc is a type of root vegetable. It’s considered a staple food in many countries thanks to its unique ability to withstand difficult growing conditions and relatively high calorie density.

In addition to being versatile, it’s a good source of resistant starch and vitamin C.

However, it requires proper preparation to avoid adverse health effects. Particularly, avoid eating it raw. It’s also worth noting that processed varieties like tapioca may be lower in important micronutrients.

Still, manioc makes a great addition to stir-fries, soups, baked goods, and desserts and is frequently featured in traditional dishes around the globe.
