Fresh Yuca 35 lb.

Details

Keep your pantry stocked with high-quality staples like this fresh yuca! Functioning as a delicious alternative to other carbohydrate-heavy side dishes such as rice, potatoes, and pasta, yuca is a root also commonly known as cassava or manioc that has starchy properties and a mildly sweet, nutty flavor. Yuca is a popular ingredient in many global cuisines, most notably African and Caribbean culinary traditions. Because it's gluten-free, yuca's starchy qualities make it an excellent substitute for people with celiac disease and digestive sensitivities. Plus, yuca contains moderate amounts of fiber, vitamins, and essential minerals, making it a wholesome addition to your menu! This bulk 35 lb. supply of yuca roots will keep your establishment well stocked with this versatile ingredient!

Prepare this yuca root by peeling off the skin, dicing it into manageable cubes, and then boiling until it's fork tender. Yuca contains trace amounts of toxins, so it MUST be cooked before use to be safe for consumption and should never be eaten raw. Use this yuca to add South American, Caribbean, or Asian flavors to your signature dishes. Boil full pieces of yuca with chilis and lime juice for a tender, flavorful appetizer topped with vibrant, punchy mojo sauce. Or, blend par-boiled chunks with butter and heavy cream for a flavorful spin on mashed potatoes that will stand up to seared steaks, roasted chicken, or grilled pork chops. It's an essential ingredient in West African fufu, Caribbean sancocho, South American yuca empanadas, and Honduran yuca cake! For a fresh new take, drop strips into the deep fryer and season simply with salt for yuca fries that rival the classic. No matter how you choose to use it, this yuca will help set your establishment apart from the competition!
