This is the cassava tree. It
never grows to be very high, but its root system is quite extensive.
|
This woman is peeling potatoes and
cassava root. The reddish pieces are potato and the brown pieces
are cassava root.

Here is the before and after
picture - on the top is cassava root after it has been pulled from the
ground and on the bottom is a piece of fried cassava root.
|
Finally, the pieces are salted and
served up - they are good both hot and cold and were served to us as a
mid-morning snack.
