What are cassava chips?
Cassava (Manihot esculenta), called yuca in the Caribbean and Latin America, is a root found in many African, Caribbean and South American cuisines, notably as foufou, fufu or foutou. SAMAI chips are thin fried slices of it: cassava (70%), non-hydrogenated palm oil and sea salt (1%), with no other ingredient. They are made in Ecuador, near the plantations where the cassava is grown and harvested.
How to use them?
They are enjoyed straight from the bag, at room temperature, as an aperitif snack or a nibble. Serve them in a small bowl with a spicy sauce or guacamole for a bolder twist, or tuck the bag into your tote for a break at work. Reseal the bag well after opening to keep their crunch, and store it in a dry place.
What to pair them with?
For a varied aperitif platter, add some garlic plantain chips No. 1. The whole plantain range pairs well with a platter of exotic snacks.
What to pair it with?
In the same aisle: NUMBER ONE plantain and apple chips.
