RE: The Almighty Yucca - A Survivalists Super Plant!

in #nature6 years ago

I like this blog because it reminds me of a time when I thought I had a Yucca plant in my yard, I was gong to eat it but realized I should probably do some more research. I it was a yuca with one c and it is poisonous I think, but in the end I never ate it just to be safe. Could someone answer my question? Some times when I go to the store and I see yucca/yuca root im never sure which one it is because it changes from Yucca to yuca I know there is a difference but I don't know which one has an edible root.

Sort:  

It is the Yuca that has the edible root. The Yucca has saponins in the root that makes a great shampoo, but not so good to eat. Although it wouldn't surprise me if the grocery stores are spelling the name wrong at times. Lol

Thanks for the info that has been bothering me forever :)
