Cassava cookies as a source of nutrients for malnourished populations
Author(s): Olusegun Nwankwo
Abstract: Malnutrition remains a critical global challenge, particularly in low-income regions where access to nutrient-dense foods is limited. Cassava (Manihot esculenta), a drought-resistant crop, offers a sustainable solution through its transformation into cassava cookies-a fortified, nutrient-enriched food product. This paper systematically evaluates the potential of cassava cookies as a dietary intervention to combat malnutrition. Using peer-reviewed studies, implementation data, and field reports, we analyze their nutritional profile, scalability, and impact on vulnerable populations, emphasizing the role of targeted fortification and community-driven strategies.
