Cassava Mochi

A sweet treat to close the 'Āina Lessons educational video series - cassava mochi! Guest Chef Jasmine Silverstein joins Erika Kuhr in our final episode to share a simple and delicious dessert using cassava (yuca). Use of this starchy tuberous root cultivated throughout the tropics is a fun and healthy twist on this very familiar dessert in Hawai‘i, usually made with rice flour.
