PF Yuca Small

Yuca can be boiled, steamed, or deep fried. The soft-boiled root can be used in place of boiled potatoes, and the deep-fried root can be used in place of fried potatoes. The flour made from yuca roots is called tapioca. Yuca must be cooked before eating because it contains cyanide. To prepare, you can peel the skin, cook it thoroughly, and drain the cooking water.
