HEALTH BENEFITS OF TAPIOCA/CASSAVA

C assava is widely consumed in West Africa. Cassava is cooked in various ways around Africa and the world. From research, I understand that it is also popular in the Caribbean and Asia. Research also shows that cassava is used to make desserts...I would love to try that. For us in Nigeria, the most popular food derived from cassava is eba. Eba is widely consumed in Nigeria, the next famous food, I believe, would be indomie noodles. I have always wondered if there were any health benefits from eating eba. The first thing anyone would say is that eating eba would contribute to developing a pot belly. As a result, I have seen many weight watchers eliminate eba from their diets.
