It is a crispy dough made from wild cassava (yuca) and is often served with fish, soup, and other main dishes. Cassava root is actually poisonous in its natural form, so it must be washed and processed using a traditional technique.\r\n\r\nIn the northeastern Colombian Amazon, cassava forms part of the daily diet for many indigenous people. Versions of casabe have been eaten for centuries, and the traditional preparation method is a reminder of the families who worked every day with a machete in hand to preserve this ancestral tradition.\r\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"MOJOJOY_WORM\"><\/span><strong>MOJOJOY WORM:\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\r\n\r\n\nThe mojojoy is one of the most iconic and exotic dishes of the Colombian Amazon. These plump worm larvae can be eaten raw (and alive) but are usually fried or roasted on a skewer and accompanied by vegetables or plantains. \u00a0This local delicacy can also be filled with beef or chicken.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe larvae form part of the diet of many local Indigenous communities and are considered a highly nutritious superfood, rich in protein, minerals, and fatty acids. They are an acquired taste, but an absolute must-try on any trip to the Colombian Amazon! Have you eaten them yet? Let us know in the comments section below.\n\n\r\n\r\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FARINA\"><\/span><strong>FARI\u00d1A:\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\r\n\r\n\nFari\u00f1a, a flour made from yuca (cassava), is another one of the most typical foods of the Colombian Amazon. The root vegetable is grated, fermented in water, drained, and toasted to form a simple flour-like dough. It is often served with soups or broths, or simply eaten alone as a snack. It is one of the most eaten foods amongst the indigenous communities of the Colombian Amazon, simple yet delicious.\n\n\r\n\r\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" class=\"wp-image-8558\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mytripcolombia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Acompa\u00f1amientos-de-la-comida-Amazonas-Colombia-e1558193808688.jpg\" alt=\"Preparaci\u00f3n de fari\u00f1a, casabe\" \/><figcaption>Side Dishes in the Colombian Amazon\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\r\n\r\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"TUCUPI\"><\/span>TUCUP\u00cd:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\r\n\r\n\nThe Colombian Amazon is one of the best places to find spicy sauces in all the country.

It is a crispy dough made from wild cassava (yuca) and is often served with fish, soup, and other main dishes. Cassava root is actually poisonous in its natural form, so it must be washed and processed using a traditional technique.\r\n\r\nIn the northeastern Colombian Amazon, cassava forms part of the daily diet for many indigenous people. Versions of casabe have been eaten for centuries, and the traditional preparation method is a reminder of the families who worked every day with a machete in hand to preserve this ancestral tradition.\r\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"MOJOJOY_WORM-2\"><\/span><strong>MOJOJOY WORM:\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe mojojoy is one of the most iconic and exotic dishes of the Colombian Amazon.

They are an acquired taste, but an absolute must-try on any trip to the Colombian Amazon! Have you eaten them yet?

The root vegetable is grated, fermented in water, drained, and toasted to form a simple flour-like dough. It is often served with soups or broths, or simply eaten alone as a snack.
