    Yuca is sold in the produce sections of most grocery stores here in SoCal - and it's not because those of us with an Italian heritage consume it:-) There's a Mexican restaurant in L.A, called "Yuca's". Yuca is part of the cuisine of tropical Mexico. You must be hanging out with desert people from Baja, Sonora and Chihuahua:-)

    Well I know what it is from watching a kid cartoon movie, I think it's Bugs Life. Yuka root. Before that, I had no clue what it was. I still am not even sure what it's purpose is or flavor is. Just know it causes gas!
