What is cassava?

Cassava also known as “hot land bread”, since it is grown in South America, Central America and Africa.

The root of the plant is consumed, which is very rich in starch. Numerous recipes are made with this starch flour, especially bread-making ones.

The great advantage of cassava for many people is that it does not contain gluten . In fact, this recipe is similar to other types of bread made with cassava that are made in some countries such as Colombia or Paraguay.

There are two varieties of cassava: sour or bitter and sweet . This second is the one we are going to use for our cassava bread.ADVERTISING

It is essential to highlight that you should never eat raw cassava , as it is toxic to your health.

Are dairy products good?

There are different factors that influence dairy consumption:

• Milk and its derivatives consumed today tend to be unhealthy products due to the amount of added substances they contain, such as hormones and antibiotics. Organic dairy products from free-range cows would be the exception.

• There are many people who do not digest lactose well  since, as the years go by, we tend to lose the lactase enzyme in our body.
• Dairy products are linked to a buildup of mucus in the respiratory tract.
• Some people feel bloated in their face or body if they consume dairy at night.
• They can cause skin problems such as dermatitis, psoriasis, etc.

However, there are people who consume milk and dairy products throughout their lives without any of these problems.

Better without sugar

If we want to eat healthily, we should acquire the good habit of reducing the sugar and sweet foods  we consume every day.

If we could see the sugar that is hidden in the drinks and sweets we eat every day we would be surprised by the amount.

We can opt, whenever possible, for products sweetened with honey, cane honey, stevia , agave syrup , coconut sugar, etc.ADVERTISING

Our palate will gradually get used to these new flavors, as we also lose our addiction to sugar.
