Cassava or yucca is a nutty flavored, starchy tuber of the spurge family (Euphorbiaceae) from the South-American origin. This sweet, crunchy underground tuber has been a popular edible root for centuries in many parts of Africa, Asia and South America; it is an indispensable part of the carbohydrate diet of millions of inhabitants living in these regions.
Cassava can grow in poor soil and can withstand drought. It is an important famine reserve crop in countries with unreliable rainfall. Accord
