  • This is NOT how one properly peels yucca root. You wasted so much meat.

  • Well< I have done it for twenty years and this way you show removes too much of the meat one eats, and that is really not the way to cut yucca root.....cut in half first, then run knife across the skin after that PEEL IT With the knife so that it is in one piece or two....OR peel it with a peeler.

  • It's much easier to remove those fibers after cooking.

  • This is a method of peeling the Yucca root but you didn't remove the fibers. You have only demonstrated part of the process. Nice try though...maybe a part 2 is needed.

  • If I soak the top of a yucca root in water, will it grow a leaf?

  • id feel more comfortable if she was spanish

    Don't give people ideas I don't want people getting cyanide poisoning from eating this raw. I ate some raw and ended up calling the poison control center once.

  • WRONGGGGGGGG WAY

  • this is so wrong

  • I like to eat it raw.

    it's YUCK-a not YU-CA

  • its you-ka not yuck-a. you can cut it into fourths and if you look around the edges you can see a couple of layers. you slice the corner a little bit between the layers then peel the skin off. its kinda hard at first but you soon learn your own technique and you don't waste a lot of the meat.
