CASSAVA
Cassava
Cassava, also called manioc, yuca, balinghoy, mogo, mandioca, kamoteng kahoy, tapioca-root and manioc root, a woody shrub of the Euphorbiaceae family native to South America, is extensively cultivated as an annual crop in tropical and subtropical regions for its edible starchy tuberous root, a major source of carbohydrates. It differs from the similarly spelled yucca, an unrelated fruit-bearing shrub in the Asparagaceae family. Cassava, when dried to a powdery extract, is called tapioca; its fermented, flaky version is named garri.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Cassava
