While it can’t be eaten raw, Cassava can be grated, boiled, baked, fried, or turned into tapioca flour. It’s used to make a plethora of global dishes ranging from desserts in the Philippines to a savory dish in Africa called Fufu. Join us to learn how to grow and cook this hearty staple crop yourself. If interested in signing up call the library or come by in person.
