Yuca is a starchy root vegetable with a mild flavor reminiscent of….

Tapioca, making it well suited to a wide variety of cooking applications. It can be sliced, grated or pureed, sautéed, fried, boiled or stewed. Use as a natural thickening agent in soups or stews. Unlike most hearty root veggies, it spoils quickly so use within a day or two, or cut into chunks and freeze for several months.
