Yuca is a starchy root vegetable native to South America, prized for its versatility and rich flavor. Known as cassava in many parts of the world, this gluten-free ingredient is packed with carbohydrates, making it a great energy source. Yuca is often used in traditional dishes across Latin American and Caribbean cuisines, featured in options like yuca fries, tostones, and moist, hearty cakes. Rich in vitamins C and B, it also provides dietary fiber, supporting digestion and overall health. However, it’s important to cook yuca thoroughly, as raw yuca contains cyanogenic compounds. Enjoy the delicious and nutritious benefits of this exotic staple!
