Guest guest Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 After all that, I have to ask! What does cassava taste like - in itself, I mean. Is it bland like potato (I know there is a 'bitter' kind), sweet like sweetpotato or carrot or parsnip? 'cabbagey' like turnip? Sharp like radish? Earthy like taro? What about texture? Really curious. Best, Pat ;=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Fresh it taste's like a white potato, but to my taste not as good as a potato. I grow them in my backyard. The Brazillians buy it in granualar's and sprinkle it on everything. It peels like a potato veggiehound <veggiehound wrote: After all that, I have to ask!

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 For some reason, I always compare it to the texture and flavor of a water chestnut (canned variety). I think the peppers are numbing my tastebuds, lol. S. , David McCarty <chiefmc> wrote: > Fresh it taste's like a white potato, but to my taste not as good as a potato.

In that case, mine too, cuz I think that water chestnuts (I can't recall the fresh variety - only had em once or twice I think) have a decided nutty taste. And crisp. Yes, it would be great to get that subtle taste and texture ;=) But Nah! Peppers perk up the tastebuds ;=) Thanks. At this rate I'll know all about cassava without ever having seen or tasted it! Sneaky me. Best, Pat ;=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
