Most in stores is covered with wax and you can't** A: Yuca or Mandioca is good for garden but need a lot of good mountain soil. Ideally you would cut a 3-5 inch peace of the stem with 3 or 4 eyes on them about five inches deep plant in early spring and enjoy in late summer, each plant has 5-8 roots depending on soil. Make sure you peel them and do not leave any of the pink skin on it as it is poison. They are wonderful and good boiled with some gravy and meat, boiled and then cut and fried like potatoes, or boiled and deep fried in small wedges is the best. Unfortunately in CA they do not grow as the weather is not humid enough and the soil is to sandy. In many parts of South America people would starve if it was not for Yuca. By the time they come to the US they are dried out and on the verge of being spoiled. Brake the small tip off and look for black fiber, it should be pure white and milky. **Q: Is yucca high in starch?** A: Yes, yucca is high in starch **Q: How do you know if this is sweet yuca root or bitter yuca root?** A: By looking NO. Will need to taste a piece. RAW or COOKED. Sellers KNOW their products and which is which ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ UNBELIABLE QUALITY AND QUANTITY! VERY FRESH! *by M***E on March 7, 2025* Unfortunately, I live in an area that I can't find Cuban produce so this was very much wanted and I couldn't believe thagt I found it here on Amazon! Great product! Thank You!!! ### ⭐ Arrived bad *by A***Z on December 8, 2025* Arrived bad not edible it happens. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ By taste and texture, A POTATO ... *by T***Y on October 16, 2022* I was concerned after having read a review stating that rotten tubers were received. Now I am certain that if so, it was probably the shipping procedures after the product left this company. My tubers were fresh and moist inside. The taste is like potato with a slight hint of sweet. I also boiled and mashed as like potato with butter, milk, salt and pepper. I defy anyone to make a distinction. Additionally, my order arrived 5 days early. ## Frequently Bought Together - Fresh Whole Yuca Root Cassava Manioc Mandioca (5lb) - Fresh Whole Plantains (5lb) Tropical Importers - Fresh Whole Ripe Plantains Plátano Maduro (5 LB) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/20295453-fresh-whole-yuca-root-cassava-manioc-mandioca-5lb](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/20295453-fresh-whole-yuca-root-cassava-manioc-mandioca-5lb) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
