Whole Fresh Yuca Roots 35 lb. Case

This 35 lb. case of whole fresh yuca roots offers a starchy, mildly sweet, and nutty-flavored alternative to traditional carbohydrate sides like rice, potatoes, and pasta. Known also as cassava or manioc, yuca is a root vegetable popular in African, Caribbean, and South American cuisines. It is gluten-free and contains moderate amounts of fiber, vitamins, and essential minerals, making it a nutritious addition to menus.

Yuca must be peeled and cooked before consumption due to trace toxins; it is typically diced and boiled until tender. Culinary uses include boiling whole pieces with chilis and lime juice for appetizers, mashing with butter and cream as a potato substitute, and preparing traditional dishes such as West African fufu, Caribbean sancocho, and yuca empanadas. Yuca fries made by deep frying strips are also a popular option.

This refrigerated product ships as whole roots and provides a versatile ingredient to diversify your offerings with authentic global flavors.
