The Yuca is one of the main foods in the Caribbean kitchen and is the most important crop since the early days of the Tainos Indians, main settlers of the Caribbean.

The Tainos legend tells that one day in a village the son of the tribe´s Chief died and was buried. According to the tradition, they digged up to unearth the remains and couldn´t find them. Instead, they found a large root, Yuca, which became the main food of the natives of the region.
