Definition: Yuca Frita is a a side dish made from the fried root of the cassava plant (as opposed to the yucca plant). Usually, the root is cut into two- or three-inch chunks and deep-fried in vegetable oil.
People will often mistake cassava flour for tapioca flour, but the similarity ends with them both being from the yuca root. To make tapioca flour, the root is washed, pulped, and then squeezed to extract a starchy liquid. Once all the liquid evaporates, what remains is the tapioca flour. Cassava flour, on the other hand, is produced from the entire root, peeled, dried, and ground. Advertisement.
