It is like sweet potato but more firmer. In some countries they just boil and steam it. I prefer grounding it and use it for making brazilian cheese bread and filipino cassava cake.

@Janice2017 Kind of tasted like sweet potato but chewier and blander. I prefer using it on making breads or desserts than eating it on it's own. It being bland though make it useful for many recipes.

@Janice2017 I have researched in the meantime and I have read that tapioca is used in puddings because it is colorless, tasteless, and odorless, but it is an alternative to use gelatin.
