Cassava, Yucca, Manioc
Cassava, Plants have been used for food
for thousands of years, the leaves can be
cooked for greens, and are a good source
of vitamins and protein , The root is used
like Potato, Yam, or Taro root, -it is
especially good when added to soups and
stews. Cassava root has a nice mild
buttery flavor. Cassava root can also be
made into flour and Tapioca , casabe
bread is made from the flour.
It takes at least 9 months to get a good
root crop,[ you can harvest some smaller
roots before that] but the leaves can be
harvested much earlier than that. If you
have several plants the leaves can be
harvested to make a meal in two to three
months after planting, [don't take more
than 50% of the leaves/ month]
C
Cassava can make a nice looking edible
ornamental plant.
Note-Cassava is always cooked before eating, because
the raw plant contains some toxins that are destroyed
by cooking [for the same reason you always cook
Lima Beans]
