Cassava Flour White Organic

South American tuberous plant

Cassava or manioc is the edible tuber of Manihot esculenta, a woody, perennial shrub. Cassava is commonly eaten in Africa and South America. The plant originated in Brazil. Archaeological findings of tools used for scraping the tubers indicate that cassava has been cultivated in Brazil and Venezuela for 5000 years. All currently cultivated plants are cultivars. Cassava can grow on very poor soils (but then yields are relatively low) and can also withstand dry periods (except shortly after planting a young crop). In addition, the plant is well resistant to locust infestations.
