Cassava (Approx 600g)
Tapioca root, as it is called most frequently in India, is referred to as ‘Cassava root’ in America and is known as Mandioca, Manioc, and Manihot in other parts of the world. Botanically, the plant is known as Manihot esculenta. The Central American plant and root are known as ‘Yuca’, pronounced YOO-ka, which is the Native American word for Cassava. It is sometimes confused for the desert plant, yucca, pronounced YUHK-a, which is unrelated to the root vegetable. Tapioca root is one of the most adaptable and drought-resistant plants, making it an ideal food crop for a variety of environments. Tapioca root is the source of tapioca starch or flour, which is a popular gluten-free alternative.
