Adding Too Much Oil, Sugar, or Coconut Milk
Cassava is often prepared with fried coatings, sweet syrups, coconut milk, or rich sauces. While flavorful, these additions can make the dish heavy and harder to digest. Excess oil or sugar may increase discomfort, especially when combined with large portions of cassava.
For a lighter option, boiled or steamed cassava with minimal seasoning is preferable, allowing its natural flavor to remain without overloading the stomach.
