Farofa is a type of meal made from toasted cassava. It is eaten mainly in Brazil. It can be found commercially produced and packaged but can also be prepared at home based on family recipes. Most recipes will also contain varying amounts of salt, smoked meat, and spices.

I don't feel like I learned much by looking up what that is.

It's added to the plate to add flavor and texture and to absorb moisture. It's a side dish to feijoada and to churrasco too, but you can eat it with any meal.

There's corn and soy farofa too, but cassava is the main one.
