HIGHLIGHTS

This product has the ability to grow in arid or low fertility soils, as well as in areas with sporadic rainfall or with long periods of drought, giving it a comparative advantage over other crops. Yuca is rich in carbohydrates, contributing 80% energy to the body according to Dietary Reference Intakes. Yuca flour is not refined and is gluten-free, thus making it an ideal alternative for celiacs wishing to use thickeners. Yuca has a neutral flavor and, thanks to its thickening properties, it is useful for thickening creams, soups, sauces, desserts, etc.
