    The video is great; thank you for it…but Tapioca is NOT YuCCa. You are inadvertently confounding two DIFFERENT plants YuCa (Tapioca) and YuCCA

    YuCa (tapioca), a food staple rich in calories (more calories/hectare than corn, wheat, and rice), consumed in almost all over the world
    Manihot esculenta — Also known also as manioc, tapioca, cassava, mandioca — Original from Brazil tens of thousands of years ago, but domesticated systematically by the Maya 1,400 years ago in what is now the Joya de Ceren region of El Salvador — A food staple, in the American continent, south of the Rio Grande from Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, to the most southern tip of South America, in Argentina and Chile; a food staple also in sub-Saharan Africa, and increasingly so in India, Southeast Asia, China and Mongolia.

    YuCCa, although limitedly edible, mostly for ornamental use.
    Yucca filamentosa — Also known as Adam's needle, common yucca, Spanish bayonet, bear-grass, needle-palm, silk-grass, and spoon-leaf yucca– Original from southeastern United States from southeast Virginia south to Florida, and west to southeast Texas — Native American used the root (smashed) to stun fish in ponds for easy netting.
