Date: February 09, 2012 01:16PM Some things can't be eaten raw and that's that. Traditionally Cassava was chewed and spit out into a hole in the ground where it was left to ferment. Yummy. Re: Yuca

Always do your homework before buying exotics, Diogenez! Re: Yuca

Date: February 20, 2012 07:22PM I just found this recipe for fermented taro root, the author uses sweet potato instead of taro. It's cooked but it should work with simply shredded root instead. Also, it calls for whey but if you've got the "juice" from a previously fermented batch of veggies or some culture starter that should work too.

I like this Puerto Rican tuber called yautia (the ones I have bought around here are grown in Costa Rica so I assume it's a Caribbean/Central American thing). There is yautia blanca and lila (which is lilac-colored and my preference). It's similar to yucca but more flavorful and a bit less dense, IMO. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
