Excellent
These dried cassava leaves are excellent quality. The moment they start cooking, you can tell they're fresh. I made a delicious stew with red palm oil (huile rouge), and the flavor was incredible. The leaves cooked beautifully, had a great texture, and tasted just like authentic homemade cassava leaf stew. If you're looking for high-quality dried cassava leaves with authentic taste, I highly recommend this product. I'll definitely be buying it again!

African food
You wash the cassava leaf let it soak for 2whole hrs in COLD WATER ….. then you put in to cook in a pot until boil for 30 mins or when ever you see it boil … you then change the water add fresh new water because cassava leaf had cyanogenic compands.. when cooking DO NOT COVER WITH POT with LID .. let it cook down until tender & the toxins are neutralize.. google will give you all the steps

Worked well for the recipe
These cassava leaves worked well for the recipe I was making (cassava leaf stew). For safety reasons, Cassava is supposed to be pounded first, then soaked, then boiled, so these leaves already came with the first step done. After boiling for awhile, the leaves will soften and the flavor is a nice, nutty, mild green leaf flavor and has lots of beneficial vitamins. Overall I found this to be a good value for dried cassava (I can't find them in the regular supermarket, although I think they have the frozen ones at the African import store). The pouch is also re-sealable, which is nice. Thanks again!

understand cassava before using
First, I'm not an expert on cassava, but I'll point out some things to consider. I should mention that raw cassava leaves contain cyanide. The cyanide is reduced by drying, pounding and boiling. It's considered safe after boiling for 10min (rinsed and squeezed), I'm unsure how much cyanide is removed during the drying and pounding process. Animal protein contains amino acids that help detoxify cassava. This makes cassava best used in stews where the cassava is further broken down and combined with amino acids from another protein source. Cassava is widely used, however the traditional dishes it is used for includes proper preparation of the leaves.
