In Costa Rica, this root vegetable is celebrated not only for its naturally gluten-free and energy-rich properties, but also for being a key player in sustainable agriculture.

Costa Rican cassava is cultivated with environmentally responsible practices, making it a nutritious, long-lasting, and eco-friendly food option. Its high fiber content supports digestive health, while its complex carbohydrates provide sustained energy.
