Cassava Leaves Frozen Whole

Cassava Leaves (Manihot esculenta) are the edible green leaves of the cassava plant, commonly used in African and Southeast Asian cuisines. Cassava leaves are rich in protein, vitamins A and C, and minerals such as iron and calcium. They must be cooked thoroughly to remove cyanogenic compounds that can be toxic if consumed raw. Cassava leaves are typically used in stews and curries, where they add a slightly bitter, earthy flavor. Popular dishes using cassava leaves include Sumsum in Indonesia and Pondu in the Congo, both of which incorporate coconut milk and spices for added flavor.
