Cassava

A South American alternative to potatoes

The cassava, which originates from Brazil, is increasingly gaining a foothold in the kitchens in Northwestern Europe. The irregularly shaped yuca root is also known as manioc. In South America and Africa, cassava is among the most common daily staples, along with rice and corn. The popularity is easily explained; the cassava is very nutritious.

The long root tapers a little towards one end. Its dark brown skin feels rough. Inside, you will find firm flesh, chalk-white to yellow in colour. Boiled, cassava is just as good as potatoes. Nature's Pride supplies the Manihot esculenta variety of cassava.
