Cassava Root Salt

Ingredients

Instructions

Peel the root properly and remove the outer layer. It is best to use a knife instead of a peeler because the outer layer is hard.

Slice it into small pieces.

Cover it with enough water and let it soak in the fridge for at least 4 days, replacing the water every day.

Add salt to enough water in a pot and boil the cassava root over medium-high heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until fork tender. The cooking time will depend on the size of the chunks.
