Farofa is a dry, flavorful side dish made by toasting cassava flour (farinha de mandioca) in butter or oil, often mixed with sautéed onions, garlic, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, or even dried meat (carne seca). It adds crunch and savoriness to dishes like feijoada, barbecues (churrasco), and everyday rice-and-beans combos.

With countless regional and family variations, farofa is served warm or room temperature and is essential in Bahian, Northeastern, and Southern Brazilian meals alike.
