Trade Lead Description:
Cassava (Manihot esculenta), also
called yuca, mogo, manioc,
mandioca, and kamoteng kahoy,
a woody shrub of the
Euphorbiaceae (spurge 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 starchy,
powdery (or pearly) extract is
called tapioca, while its
fermented, flaky version is named
garri.
Cassava is the third-largest
source of food carbohydrates in
the tropics. Cassava is a major
staple food in the developing
world, providing a basic diet for
around 502 million people. It is
one of the most drought-tolerant
crops, capable of growing on
marginal soils. Nigeria is the
world's largest producer of
Cassava root is a good source of
carbohydrates, but a poor source
of protein.
