Cassava’s Modern Impact
In recent years, cassava’s role in food production has expanded beyond just the traditional dishes. The rise of bubble tea has brought cassava back into the spotlight in the form of tapioca pearls, which are made from cassava starch. Cassava is also used to make noodles, chips, bread, and even industrial products like biodegradable plastics and animal feed.
Its versatility makes cassava an attractive crop for industries worldwide. In many countries, cassava starch is added to food products like noodles and vermicelli to improve texture. Thanks to its unique properties, cassava is now a crucial ingredient in the global food supply chain.
