Nadine: You could also buy frozen yuca, you cook it the same way as the fresh ones, boil plenty of water, then put some salt and a lemon peel (This will keep the yuca very white) and just wait until is tender. After it is done you can also make a "mojito", this is done with a lot of garlic crush the garlic ( 5 or 6) put it in a bowl with lemon juice or better yet sour oranges, like a quarter of a cup of juice. Then you heat oil until it is very very hot and pour it (very carefully) over the garlic and lemon juice, and thats it, Pour this over the yuca and enjoy it.
