''The correct spelling is "yuca" not "yucca". It is a very common mistake that most people make, but the difference is that yuca is a plant that which both the leaves and root are edible, as where yucca is a part of the agave family that is inedible. Also, you should make note that depending on the variety of yuca sold it can be bitter or sweet, and that it should be cooked to remove a poisonous and toxic chemical containing cyanogenetic glucosime (manihoxotine) which breaks down to become prussic or hydroc''
