Dear friends,
Sending photos of Tapioca plants and Tapioca. This is a root vegetable and it is widely consumed in the state of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. It is boiled and eaten along with fish curry. The starch extracted from the roots of Tapioca plant is used to make granules called "Sabudana" in Hindi and Marathi. From Sabudana is made the famous Sabudana Khichdi and Sabudana Wada eaten during fasting for "upvas" in Maharashtra and Gujerat.
Botanical name : Manihot esculenta (Family: Euphorbiaceae)
Common name of the root : Cassava Kappa Kizhangu (Malayalam & Tamil)
Place : Pattambi, Kerala
Date : May 2010
Others : The tapioca root (Photo No.4) photo is sent by my friend Clara Dela Croce from Philippines.
Regards,
Mani.
