Yucca

Yucca is a starchy root vegetable with a mild, slightly sweet flavor and creamy texture when cooked. Rich in vitamin C and fiber, it's a staple in Latin American and Caribbean cuisines. Versatile in the kitchen, yucca can be fried into crispy chips, boiled and mashed, roasted, or added to soups and stews. Its neutral taste pairs well with savory seasonings and makes it an excellent gluten-free alternative to potatoes. Select firm roots without soft spots for best results.
