Food
Each of the country's five regions has unique recipes, so Brazilian cuisine is heterogeneous. However, cassava stands out as an essential ingredient throughout the national territory, and is present in dozens of typical dishes, such as pão de queijo, tapioca, tacacá, and tropeiro.Brazilians are fond of whole foods. Rice, beans, farofa, salad, eggs, and meat are the local staples – usually consumed at both lunch and dinner.
