Taj Brand Tropical Cassava (Yuca) 1kg

Product Overview

• The Product: 100% natural cassava (also known as Mandioca in Brazil or Yuca in Spanish-speaking regions). The roots are harvested at peak ripeness, peeled, cut into uniform chunks, and IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) to lock in freshness.
• Texture: Once cooked, it becomes incredibly tender and starchy. Taj Brand is known for sourcing "soft-cooking" varieties, ensuring the center isn't woody or fibrous.
• Convenience: Fresh cassava can be unpredictable (sometimes staying hard even after boiling). This frozen version is pre-selected for quality, ensuring it softens consistently.

Key Uses & Recipes

1. Mandioca Cozida: Simply boiled in salted water and served with butter or olive oil as a side dish for Bacalhau or grilled meats.
2. Mandioca Frita: After boiling, the chunks are deep-fried in Fula Oil until golden and crispy. This is a legendary Brazilian bar snack.
3. Vaca Atolada: A famous Brazilian "comfort" stew where the cassava is slow-cooked with beef ribs until it partially dissolves, thickening the broth.
4. Portuguese Soups: Used as a thickener or a hearty vegetable addition to regional stews.
