Comments:
*Manioc (also known as cassava and yucca) is a tropical tuber plant grown throughout Brazil. Long and cylinder-like in shape, manioc root has a light brown “fibrous” skin similar to a potato or yam. The inside is white and starchy. **Dende oil (dendê oil) - bright orange palm oil is a staple in Brazilian cuisine. Bahia is one of the 26 states of Brazil, and is located in the northeastern part of the country on the Atlantic coast.
