Guest guest Posted February 4, 2001 Report Share Posted February 4, 2001 Hi all, Brazilians eat the root of a yucca fried, or made into soup to accompany the famous feijoada (black bean) dish so popular over there. Whenever I've bought at the grocery store, the sign always says yucca. I know that in Portuguese it's called manjoca. Does anyone know if this is the same plant?

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 Yucca root is a therapeutic anti inflammatory phytosterol with the ability to break up inorganic mineral obstructions and deposits. Its primary uses are in pain relieving combinations for arthritic and joint pain, and sediment caused by inflammation such as gout, rheumatism, and cystitis. It is also used to establish a flora balance in the GI tract and for asthmatic relief. Yucca root may have a laxative effect.afrikan_woman <afrikan_woman wrote: Does anyone know anything.
