Last weekend I picked up a fresh yucca root and took it home to try. I thought about looking up how to prepare the yucca root but I got busy with other things. I peeled the root and sliced it into round disks. I took a bite. The taste was yucky. Like a fool I took another bite. The second bite was as bad as the first. This weekend over dinner I spoke about the yucky yucca root only to learn that a person should not eat it raw. In fact, eating the root raw can make you sick or even kill you. Cyanide poisoning is not the way I want to go. Tonight I might slice them into fries and try it again. Some time boiling in hot water and soaking up coconut oil in the oven ought to improve the taste.
