Yucca: Earthy, Hearty, and Rooted in Tradition
A versatile root with bold flavor and endless possibilities—from field to kitchen.
RICH IN CULTURE, FULL OF FLAVOR
Yucca, the Latin Root Staple
Yucca, also known as cassava, is a starchy root vegetable that has long been a staple across Latin American and global cuisines. Its firm texture and slightly nutty taste make it perfect for boiling, frying, or baking. Whether turned into crispy fries or velvety mash, yucca brings warmth, depth, and nutritional value to every dish. At Latin Specialties, we work directly with growers to ensure top-quality yucca that delivers consistency and flavor year-round.
Humble, hearty, and deeply nourishing—yucca is tradition you can taste.

Crispy fries recipe
Yuca Frita (Yucca Fries)
Boiled yucca fried until golden and crisp outside, soft inside: perfect with garlic sauce or salsa.
Ingredients
- 2 lb Latin Specialties Yucca, peeled and cut into thick sticks, woody core removed
- Salt
- Oil for frying
- Garlic sauce, lime wedges and chopped Latin Specialties Cilantro, to serve
Method
- Boil the yucca in salted water for 15 to 20 minutes, until just tender but not falling apart. Drain and dry well.
- Fry in 350°F (175°C) oil in small batches for 4 to 5 minutes, until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels and salt right away.
- Serve hot with garlic sauce, lime and cilantro.
TipDry the boiled yucca completely: moisture makes the oil splatter and the fries soggy.
