tiguadege
Tiguadege is a traditional dish from the Indigenous cultures of the Amazon rainforest. It is primarily made from manioc (also known as cassava), which is a starchy root vegetable. The preparation involves grating the manioc, fermenting it, and then cooking it to create a thick, dough-like consistency. Tiguadege is often served with various accompaniments, such as fish or vegetables.
This dish is significant in the diets of many Amazonian tribes, as it provides essential carbohydrates and nutrients. Tiguadege is not only a staple food but also a cultural symbol, representing the connection between the people and their land.
