Tapioca

Scientific Name:
Manihot esculenta

Tapioca is primarily valued for its starchy tubers, which are a significant source of carbohydrates and used in various culinary dishes. It is a drought-tolerant plant that thrives in warm climates and can grow in poor soil conditions. Tapioca is well-suited for areas with limited water resources and is often cultivated for its hardy nature. The plant has a low-maintenance requirement, making it a popular choice in regions where other crops may struggle to grow.
