How to choose good casava
- To cook delicious casava, you should choose the hill casava variety because it has a flaky, rich, and fragrant texture. When buying, pay attention to choose fresh, plump tubers with tight skin, less fibrous flesh, soft, and sweet taste.
- You can gently scratch the thin skin with your fingernail to check the inside. If the flesh inside is light pink, choose it; if it’s white, avoid it as it has a higher toxin content.
- Avoid selecting tubers that have been stored for too long because they will be tough, not tasty, and may even contain toxins that affect health.
