Quê Hương Frozen Grated Cassava

Quê Hương Frozen Grated Cassava is fresh yuca root peeled and finely shredded, then frozen to lock in its starchy body and mild, faintly sweet flavor. Grating cassava by hand is slow and messy work, and this bag takes care of it, delivering the soft, moist shreds that bake up into the dense, chewy texture Vietnamese cassava desserts are known for.

Thaw the shreds and they are ready to mix with coconut milk, sugar, and a little salt for bánh khoai mì nướng, the golden baked cassava cake, or steam them into bánh tằm khoai mì rolled in coconut. The grated form binds into a smooth batter, so it also works for cassava puddings, sweet dumplings, and chewy snacks without any extra prep.

Each bag holds 16 ounces of grated cassava and nothing else, ready to portion straight into a mixing bowl. Keep it frozen at 0°F until you bake, thaw only what a recipe calls for, and use thawed cassava promptly. The fine shred means quick, even thawing and a consistent batter every time.
