I grew up in the Philippines and use to have this root crop for food at times when rice was expensive and scarce. We usually boil them and make cassava cake out of the grated fresh cassava. Reminds me of my country life in the boondocks. Thank you for the video. And by the way, our method of planting cassava sticks is dig 5 inches on the ground and lay the stick horizontally and cover the whole thing with soil. This way all the stick will produce tubers for more harvest and you don't need to worry which one is the bottom or top part. You earn one subscriber.

My wife is from West Africa and cassava is a primary food source for them. There are other preservation methods that work well. They shred, press, and dry it. The resulting gari is shelf stable for years. It is used as a primary, inexpensive starch in their diets. Lot of uses for it too. It can also be powdered after drying for use in a dish called fufu. Both of the dried forms will keep for years with no spoilage and are very easy to make.

dude you are so calm and cool

If you want the best result for cooking your cassava always cover it with less water and add salt I’m a Ghanaian and cassava is one of our major foods. Thank you.

My Grandmother used to make so many different things out of yuca. From boiled with vinegar to yummy desserts. I miss my Great Grandma no one in the family truly cooks like she did.

Im from fiji.. peel it.. wash with properly with water. Potion it in ziplock bag nd freeze kt.. it will last for a year

In Jamaica we call them bitter and sweet cassava, just as you mentioned. The bitter cassava is used to make bammy, which is a flat bread mostly eaten with fish, etc. The sweet cassava is boiled and eaten just as you did, but we mostly prefer the bammy. Cassava is the most starchy food I know when boiled. So much starch that when I was a child, I remember the starch being extracted and used to starch clothes. Probably still done in parts of the island.

Going to make fufu from cassava for the very first time here. I am really excited! Thank you for the explanation 🤗

I had never heard of cassava until my sponsored child in Uganda mentioned it. I watched your video and now I can write my child and tell her! Thank you-very informing video!

You can boil with pink salt and garlic cloves till tender. Then put infused garlic olive oil and a tad of lemon.I take the center woody part after boiling.

In Mozambique eat the leaves and also the roots. The leaves we mash with garlic and then we cook with coconut milk mixed with blended peanuts, it is absolutely delicious we called Matapa.

9:03 you can also eat it with sweet tea with milk. In Kenya we like eating it for breakfast with tea. 4:30 you can also preserve it for longer when dried and turned into flour.

I love cassava, my Dad planted a lot of cassava. I am from 🇬🇩 Grenada, we make Farine, which is our natural cereal.

Waoo. I am from Africa and we grow cassava. I can tell you that one really produced a good harvest

Thank you! I never knew how to plant it nor peel it as easily as you did. In Costa Rica, instead of mashing it first, we also fry it with oil or butter and is so tasty!!

You explain well… Your time and research matters. Each one ☝🏽 teach one

Thanks for your informative video. Cassava is much better than every grain (product)!! My father's been eating cassava for 105 yrs, and he's still alive and strong. I've been eating cassava since infancy, and I'm healthier than ever! Unfortunately, there are lots and lots of misinformation about cassava. But fortunately, I know cassava very well. I've no options but to subscribe to your channel.

You don’t need to remove the wood part from the center before cooking though. Just boil it and when it’s ready then you cut it and pull the middle part out, much easier :)

When I harvest cassava, I would peel , wash and freeze them. And when I need to cook it just take it out the freezer and cook. It's fresh as the day harvested. When cassava is bitter it's because it overgrown. It's good to plant it by the moon. Thank you for this video. You're on point with your intofrmation.

Thank you ! I have just started eating this. Lv and Prayers to all.

Greetings from Florida!🌞🏝🏖 A friend of mine, introduced me to cassava. It's a staple in central, south america, and the caribbean. I just got a bunch of cuttings, I think that I have both varieties. Very interesting video, I haven't tried cooking it myself yet, I'm definitely going to make sure that I do it correctly. One other video, the guy says to soak the yucca root, after they are cut, in water, for 30min., dump that water, then refill, and cook it for 30min., or, until it is soft.

Cassava is our staple food in Uganda - West Nile region. Cassava flour can be mixed with Sorghum or Millet flour to produce very nice bread which is really good with meat or chicken stew.

You can keep it for a year if you half cook it and dry it in the sun. It becomes hard. When ever you want to use it again, you can soak it overnight and then cook it as normal. It's a different taste but really good.

Great, informative video. Thank you so much for sharing. I was born in Puerto Rico, my mom is Cuban and my Dad was Spanish. I grew up eating yuca/yucca. I'm going to share though with you how we do it, besides boiling the root. In addition, we make what's called mojo. We take an onion, slice it up in thin rounds, good amount of minced garlic, lol, and saute it in olive oil for about 20 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir, don't allow the garlic to blacken. Let it all brown. Then when ready, drain your yuca/yucca and liberally pour the mojo over it. I promise you this shall be an upgrade. 😉😆😙

Hello! Thank you for the video. I grow Tapioca (sweet) in my yard for over 30 years. I have never grown it to harvest and prepare for eating. I grow it for it's beautiful leaves, easy to start, and a hedge of it as it grows taller makes for a nice sun blocker into my NW facing windows. I like pairing it up with Cordyline, bromeliads and sun impatience.

I need a husband like him for my homestead ☹️ hard to find ppl that wanna work to grow great food

Grew up eating it. In Africa, they use the LEAF of the cassava plant to make Pondu ou saka-saka , which is a stew. Pretty much any chicken or beef or fish stew can be turned into pondu if you add cassava leaves, pounded and cooked for at least half an hour into the stew, with cassava roots (or taro, or yams) and spices also in the stew.

To make cassava last, you can grate it and dry (use cheese cloth and squeeze) and turn into cassava flour (you can make tortillas, bread, cakes, or use as thickener); this is also done with breadfruit before it ripens too much

I love cooking this dish I'm American woman and my sister love it I be cooking this in a few days

The discoloration is caused by exposure to air. Its still good. We just boil it and dip it on sugar. Make sure you don’t boil it with peel. I grew up planting those in the Philippines. You can buy those already grated frozen from Asian stores. You can make cassava cake popular desert among Filipinos.

Thanks for the video! In my culture from the Caribbean islands, we use cassava for many things in our diet, it is a staple. You can mash it and make fufu which is delicious with saucy dishes. You can also put harvested cassava in a bucket of very lightly dampened sand, or sand that has been cooled via shade and it will keep longer due to the temperature of the sand, acting as a refrigeration-ish technique. Also, I make cassava flour which I can make all sorts of dishes with, even a dessert dish.

In Sri Lanka we make Cassava leaves salad too. need to take the young leaves and put onion, G.Chilli, garlic scraped coconut and with a pestal&motar you have to grind it. then you have to put salt and lime to taste.

Their Indonesian names are "ubi" or "singkong". Cassava leafs cooked in coconut milk and small fish is a favorite dish in Indonesia. Fermented cassava (using yeast) is called "tape" and is a popular dessert in Indonesia.

Cute.I grow them too and lots of other food.I make pasteles de yucca. They are 😋 yummy

You can eat the leaves too and make them be your vegetables and you can mix with coconut milk too. So delicious

Nice cassava is a useful veg

God is so good.

Love cassava! I start to grow some this year in January, so I look forward to harvesting them in the Fall. Your video is good, and thanks for sharing.

Once u boil it u can take it out and stir fry it with turmeric and chillis and a bit of onions. From kerala India its one of our staple foods

I too have grown it in my garden...and sweet potatos

I've forget it, you can season them with leek. Take the green part of the leeks, clean it. Cut it up in small pieces, and then get them in a blender. Blend it until it's liquid. Keep blending and add your preferred oil slowly. It's going to get mayo consistency but green. Add salt. It's delicious with cassava.

Great video. I just planted 2 baby sweet cassava here in Florida. Your video was the most helpful I’ve seen! Thanks 😊

Thanks Blue! Good looking pup!

In Jamaica it is also grated and made into a kind of flat cake called bammy. This is further fried, baked or steamed and eaten mainly with fish. It is a favourite of most Jamaicans.

In Jamaica we make small flat breads called bammy. We grate the casava, squeeze out the liquid make a kind of patty out of it and fry lightly. Then we soak it in coconut milk for 15 to 20 min and brown in a frying pan. I hope that's enough for the cyanide to disappear :-O!

This is cultivated in india its name hrre is tapioka we makes it different types of chips makes starch out of it boils eats with chutney or sardine curry its a staple food of kerala i have planted it in my farm iam getting 20 pounds from each plant can get harvest after 10 months its originated from africa when portughese came to india they brought it to our country

- We don't cook bitter cassava - we grate and juice then wash fiber and sun dry to make flour to make bread.

Thanks for tip about cutting the two ends differently! I'm sure I've planted loads upside down! Here in Bali we plant them slanted. Like elephant grass. Don't kniw why.

Hello ,I love Yuka, do delish 😋, I try it as a pancake 🥞S, they taste so good 👍😋

You can also store cassava by peeling, cut lengthways thinly about 0.5 to 1cm, spread out on clean surface leave to sun-dry - then you can store this sun dried cassava for months inside a hessian sack in a dry place.

Love your knowledge! Thank you for sharing

Very good information. Cassava can be peeled and stored in freezer

I admire your lifestyle. Keep up the great content!

Great video, I didn't know that this Brazilian plant was known so well in other countries outside south America.

That's one of my dad's favourite food

here in the caribbean we usually saute the cassava after boiling it with butter , garlic, green seasoning to be eaten with any meats like stew chicken, bar-b-que chicken but our favourite is with fried salted fish with a lot of veges. great job man

I tried it yesterday for the first time. It tastes good

Excellent instructional video. I stuck some in the ground July 2020. Didn't know what to do with it until now April 2021. I will harvest now. Thanks!

You are such a cute homesteader!!

Great video

Great

I’m American and didn’t know another staple crop like cassava existed! Thanks for this informative video, now I definitely gotta try it!

Bro, cut it boil it for 15 minutes and sundry it. It will last for ages. When you need to eat just soak it in water overnight and cook it .

Thanks 👍

Thank you for share, it's very informative.

Aloha, we are on the dry side of Big Island, and came across your video as we will be getting some cassava slips to plant. Thank you for this comprehensive video. Will make sure to put plenty of mulch on top.

I live in the UK and eating casava chips from some Indian shop right now! :)

Thanks for your info on growing cassava. I grew up in Kenya and remember eating baked cassava 'mohogo' over coals. Where can I get branches in order to grow some myself. I live in Melbourne Australia.

When you boil the cassava the wood could be remove , the bitter cassava before it could be consumed you have to create it, and squeeze the milk and it turn to powder then it could use to make cassava bread , while the sweet cassava is mostly use for boil up in the Caribbean.

Hi I'm Philippines I'm also planting casava

I am English, but my wife is from Ecuador. They also take the cooked cassava and fry them as you would fries. Unhealthy, but very nice.

Great video thanks - growing these this year!

Thank you helped a lot!

Thanks blue!!

New sub here who hit the bell too! Just found your channel. That was a fantastic video covering everything we need to know about growing and eating casva. I started a food forest last year and I think your channel is going to help me a lot. Keep it going please :-) Thanks so much for putting it together. Nice photography, and I really like your lay back style too. Thanks brother. Greetings from Australia :-)

Good sharing ❤❤

We can actually use it to make nigeria fufu, garri cassava flakes for african dish swallow), cassava flour for bread, cake, pastries, abacha( african salad). Employ me and let me help you produce a lot of products from cassava. There are many african grocery stores within your country that needs those cassava product most especially cassava garri.

Thanks!..I’m Learning!..Got Some In About 5ft Tall!

Hi From my childhood memory the bitter cassava is not normally eaten but used to make starch

We can also add little salad oil n salt/sugar. It taste really good....when we cook it.

Very informative ! thank you for sharing

Good

thank you so much! ❤️

Hello, thanks for the video, I would love to plant yuccas in my backyard. But I can't find anyone who sells cassava cuttings to plant or seeds. I live in USA, California.

Thank you so much for helping me to figure out how to determine which one is the bitter one from which one is the sweet one.

Awesome.

Super ...sir

In India we use this cassava for chips making...boil with salt and eat...cook with mutton and beef ...cook with onion. turmeric cumin seed .green chilli..corianderleaf taste super...cassave flour for chicken fry...sabudina for kichidi...payasam..and many more dishes all are taste good
