Manihot esculenta

Sabudana is a root crop known for its starchy tubers, which are a major food source in many tropical regions. It grows well in full sun, prefers well-drained, sandy soil, and requires moderate watering. Thriving in tropical climates, Sabudana supports local ecosystems by providing food for various herbivores. Additionally, its deep root system helps in supporting soil health by preventing erosion and improving soil structure.
