There are two kinds of cassava, what we call white doesn’t have the red part in the leaves and it’s softer to cook than the one with red stems in the leaves. We uses this last ones to make pasteles, similar to tamales, we use green bananas and squash for the dough.
Thank you for your vidio. I survive in South Africa on a 1100 m2 sub tropical coastal propperty with a beach cottage on it. 10 rabbits, 10 chickens, 7 bee hives, 100 banana trees, 1 peach tree, 1 orange tree, 30 casava trees, 2 cherry guava trees, 3 katobwa grape vines, 2 passion frute vines, 5 pawpaw trees, 3 rows of 20 metre shugarcane, 100 strawberry plants in boxes, sweet potatoes as a ground cover and a small kitchen garden. Rain water 30,000 litres storage and 5 kw 48 volt solar with a 5 kw L-iorn battery and 2kw solar pannels. We get summer rain of +- 1000 mm and winter rain of 100 mm. p/ year. My sweet potato leaves and roots must be used for rabbits and for my self. I also use panana leaves and saplings for my rabbits. I have my rabbits in a rabbitary. My chickens is limited to their chicken run and a grass drive way of +- 30 x 4 meters. We all eat bananas including my dog. I do make shugar from the s/cane and wine and vinigar from the extra banana's and grapes. I hope this informaton can help someone to survive off grid.
I have Moringa and beetles are eating the leaves. 😮💨 it grows fast but at the same time leaves get yellow and they all drop. So I have a 8 ft skinny truck with a bush at the top
Cassava recipe. Peel a pound or two of cassave. Open a can of coconut cream milk pour it into a large pot with trimmed cassava root, a little salt, and boil or steam it off until the coco milk has largely evaporated leaving behind a sweet condensed milk cream on the root.
Great tips for growing the correct plant for the climate conditions in Florida. Would like to grow Cassava. It is also a staple in central America. Can I grow from roots bought at the market? Not sure where to get cuttings. Thank you for timely info. Dean, Central Florida East coast
That was a great video Elise! I have all three plants growing here. But I learned a little bit more about what to do with them! Thank you! I have four Moringas which is probably a little more than I need but gosh it's such an amazing plant. And I use all of my trimmings in my dry compost tea..Feel secure to have it! I made flower essence out of my Moringa last month. One of my trees was in abundant full full bloom. I picked the flowers I let them bathe in sunlight and purified water and I actually went through the evening with a full moon. Strained it and then did a 50-50 brandy tincture, in a spray bottle. It just sends a great vibe and feels wonderful to spray on the body. So grateful for all of your knowledge!
Just found you as a suggested video. Gonna plant these even though i only have less than half an acre 😕. But I figure, its better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them. Just subscribed. Have a great day! Zone 9b here. Central Florida.
Youngest leaves of cassava boiled for 5 minutes as per chaya are fine to consume. I like the idea of making a quick growing attractive temporary fence by planting branches in a cross cross pattern.
Just found your channel. You have been wealth of information for this frustrated gardener! Thank you
Moringa, yes, my kind of plant, which I planted one (WH, Fl), and it grew by itself: a very good multi verse plant, so yeah goes with it😊

I'm an American that has retired to Colombia. Here they use yucca flour frequently. tapioca as in tapioca pudding is another use.
Great information! I'm just starting to grow cassava in my central Florida dust bowl. Wish me luck! P.s. love the baby sounds in the background ❤

Great video but I'm very curious to what is making the noise in the background? Lol
Great information. Thank you
Mine have been grown from seed.

I hear a baby crying in the background.
I've never heard of yucca being used to make tequila, have only heard of agave being used.
Great tips for growing the correct plant for the climate conditions in Florida.
Would like to grow Cassava. It is also a staple in central America.
Can I grow from roots bought at the market?
Not sure where to get cuttings.
Thank you for timely info.

Are all these plants pet safe?
Love the selections, great choices!

I live in central florida and looking to plant all three plants. Do you sell all three? I was looking at your site, I only saw moringa.
Thanks
Not sure how to grow cassava yet. I saw a bit about a cutting…
The chia seed packets say to grow it in the fall. Is that true? Again, how to grow chia wouñd be more useful than the health
5 minutes in and still I don’t know how to grow moringa
I wish you would do a gardening ideo and skip the health lessons. Other videos do that. As you say, us gardeners are short on time.
