🌿 Cassava: The Versatile Root 🌿
Cassava, also known as yuca, is a starchy root vegetable widely cultivated in tropical regions. It's a powerhouse of energy and an excellent source of essential nutrients like carbohydrates, fiber, and vitamins. In this video, we'll teach you how to propagate and care for cassava plants, making it possible for you to have a fresh, sustainable supply of this incredible root right in your backyard.
🍬 Yacon: The Sweet Andean Treasure 🍬
Yacon is another extraordinary root vegetable, native to the Andean region of South America. Renowned for its naturally sweet taste and low-calorie content, yacon is a perfect addition to our pancake-growing experiment. Not only will we guide you through the process of cultivating yacon, but we'll also explain how its sweetening potential will elevate our pancake game without the need for added sugars.
🌱 Let's Get Started - The Growing Process 🌱
In this video, we'll take you step-by-step through the entire growing process. From sourcing healthy cassava and yacon tubers to selecting the ideal planting location, you'll learn the key factors to ensure your plants thrive. We'll discuss the importance of soil type, sunlight, watering, and temperature requirements to promote optimal growth.
🌼 Nurturing Your Pancake Plants 🌼
Like any plants, cassava and yacon require tender love and care. I'll share invaluable tips on ensuring they grow strong and healthy.
🍽 Harvesting and Cooking 🍽
Once our cassava and yacon plants have matured, it's time to harvest and prepare our homegrown pancakes. We'll demonstrate the proper harvesting techniques and then head straight to the kitchen to create mouthwatering pancake recipes that incorporate these unique ingredients.
👩🍳 Taste the Fruits of Your Labor 👨🍳
Get ready to savor the incredible flavors of the pancakes you've grown yourself. These cassava and yacon pancakes are not only tasty but also offer a healthier alternative to traditional pancake recipes. Yacon syrup is a wonderful natural supplement for diabetics seeking a healthier alternative to traditional sugars. Derived from the sweet-tasting yacon root, this syrup contains fructooligosaccharides (FOS), a type of soluble fiber that our bodies don't fully digest. As a result, it has a minimal impact on blood sugar levels, making it a low glycemic index sweetener. Plus, the satisfaction of harvesting and cooking with your homegrown produce is truly unbeatable!

Perfect title for your book!❤

Thank…YOU…😊
I was fascinated by your pancake journey. 💚
Lovely Video Weedy !!
Thanks again !
My pleasure!
Hi Weedy, I’m cuban and I’d like to share a Cassava recipe, boil the pcs after you remove the center fiber leave them that size no smaller boil till it’s very soft almost mushy, drain them . Heat up a pan of 1/2 cup olive oil but don’t let it burn, once hot put as much pressed garlic till your ancestry tell you to stop lol about 10-15 cloves of pressed garlic immediately take off heat let that garlic simmer in the hot oil them take half a lime and squeeze on top of garlic. and then pour that on top of all the cassava you had strained. You’re tastebuds will be in heaven! #chefskiss
Just to let you know, I’m eating your suggested recipe atm and it is all grown here and taste bloody freakin greeeeat!!!
This was always my favourite when I visited Cuba! Icould never recreate it, and now I know why🙂Thanks for sharing the process👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@rosedoucet2188Oh This makes my heart soar! You’re quite welcome it too is one of my favorite recipes.
I’m so happy you love it, this brings tears to my eyes for it’s my late fathers’ recipe! I’m so lucky I took the time to learn how he made it. I’ve got another’s one of his recipes crispy tostones if you ever grow green plantains let me know.
Yum.. This sounds great, thank you! Yep, lots of garlic sounds perfect :D
After watching all your videos I'm super ready to learn more about the weedy kitchen 😉
You can also plant them in mounds so they are easy to pull up. The yacon recipe sounds great, I'm going to try it!
A new thing for me to add to my garden
That looks incredibly tasty 😋 thank you for another inspiring video and recipe ❤
Beautiful once again m8 ☺
Thanks again fella ;-)
Another great video for two plants I've grown or am growing now and never really knew what to do with .. well, HOW to do it! :) .. Brilliant! Thank you!
Great idea, and great video Weedy! I wish I had the space to grow those.
❤❤❤ your videos! But, cassava is much easier to peel when after cutting the long roots down to manageable pieces, you can just split the skin lengthwise and run a butter knife around the root, under the skin. ... a tip from Fiji! 🇫🇯
If you look close you can see that I did do that on the small frame on the bottom of the screen. Took me a while to figure out though
Great! 😀 ... I've been watching your videos on my my phone, so that part was a bit small! 😂
awesome, I have yacon in my garden, made syrup one year but unfortunately managed to burn it! havent harvested it since but you might have just inspired me to try again!
Thanks!
Thank you too 🙏🏻
You always have a surprise. Thanks for the introduction to yacon. How long does the syrup keep? The pancake looks delicious.
In the fridge a long time…at least until next seasons harvest is ready. I ate it all in a few months, so I can’t say how long it can hold. It has been boiled, so in theory years I guess?
@@TheWeedyGarden yum. and thankyou.
You somehow read my mind about wanting other ways of making pancakes
Greetings neighbour 😊,
Grate them cassava, might have to squeeze some of the liquid, mix grated coconuts and sugar. Fried into small cake size munches.
...yeah, and with some banana perhaps...Mouth watering. Thanks for the snacks tip.
morning... just wondering if you can tell me where to get the yacon to grow or source around the northern rivers/ clarence valley please.... have not had very much luck in getting hold of it... so far... diabetic in the family so this version sounds healthy.
You definitely have to show yourself eating them next time! It's not complete otherwise 😋
Ok next time 😂
Yes we gotta see that!
6:06 what food processor is this and is drying the cassava necessary to make flour? Thank you WeeGa
It says it right in your face on the front of it lol :-) NUTRIBULLET :-)
bush turkey sammich
1:06 is it a sweet potato?
yes
That worm was huge
Yeah 💪🏻
@@TheWeedyGarden I love your work David Thank You
get somehting legal to dispatch some small animals so you can eat them as well
Bush turkey sandwich 😅😂😂
I love, love, love that kitchen! And I saw the face on the cutting board. Don't think there will be any growing pancakes here as we have cold winters. No 10 month growing season and no greenhouse. But, I got my Weedy fix! Thank you.
Wicked, will try to make pancakes with the casava flower, casava is wildly used here in Brazil I planted about twenty sticks beginning of the month in the crescent moon. Here the old farmers plant their crops using the fases of the moon, they have a saying that the wright time to plant casava is in the crescent moon. I have notice that the plant produces more casava than the actual branches and leafs and you get really big casavas, give it a try. Man you need a feel coffee plants in your garden. Love your channel been flowing you since the beginning learned a lot from you over the years, that you. Stay safe mr weedy.
If only you could rear a milk producing animal, those pancakes would have been totally homegrown.
yeah…and hemp seeds!
Coconut milk?
@@novampires223 can you grow coconuts in Australia? In which case, perfect.
Looks delish! In live in Ohio, and I have a few giant maple trees, so I've been trying to learn to make maple syrup for 3 years now. Getting better each year, but it is a very long process. I wonder if cassava would grow here, would be willing to give it a try.
Yuca is native the Caribbean and its growing season runs longer than midwestern summers but ¿why not try it? After all, Europeans first thought that tomatoes were poisonous and it was someone trying something beyond what was understood at the time that transformed gastronomy
Man, the gorilla evolved into...a Michelin chef? And thank you for the picnic! So sweet!😻
Since your juicing video, been searching for a source of yacon...any idea if it can also be grown from the storage root portion (like ginger)? That's a great idea to store the cassava in ground until needed; but watching this video, I think I may have not given mine enough room, but then nothing grows as well as they do in the Weedy Garden - your earthworm makes mine look microscopic!
I think Eden Seeds sell yacon.
It won’t grow from the harvested part like a potato, but yes from the ginger like bud.
It's so cool seeing these permi plants important to the tropics actually being used in cooking ! You should definitely do more of these how to grow and use videos, Weedy! ❤
Noted 👍
You always melt my heart ❤ Such a great sweet man. Hopefully someday I can afford myself a piece of land. the knowledge is abundant. Thank you for doing what you like and share it
Hi Weedy, just wondering, the way you dried the cassava and turned it into flour how long can you store it? same as for the syrup, how long would it last you think? We are growing both up in North Queensland and are fairly new to it all 😊 any tips are very appreciated. Cheers
Yummi, food all homegrown, inspiring video, thanks mate😊
Thank you so much! You are such a blessing 🙏
Hoy! Where you are, a solar cooker should work really well when it's not raining. There are several types from sun-funnel to box (with a window, maybe reflectors) and they all save burning fuel. It's a worldwide thing with many given to 3rd world countries where deforestation is crushing lives.
There's a whole trip to just seeing what's available and what can be DIY. From Gupta (toys from trash science site) there is video of using a modified pizza box to cook rice dishes for school kids.
That was really inspiring thanks for sharing 🥰 Blessings Gerowyn
We can’t grow cassava or yacon in Canada but will try one day. Looks amazing and wonderfully presented.
I'm trying yacon this year. It looks delicious.
I mix avocado oil, eggs, and moringa or kale leaves in a blender, then pour it in the flour for the batter. This gives it a huge nutrient boost and the kids still love it!
yum!
Loved this, thank you for putting in so much time and effort, you make a lot of people happy when sometimes the world can feel a little gloomy
Looks like fun. As always, thanks for the smile.
great video though, loved the pancakes they look delicios
Love yuca dessert. Easy to make. 😊😊
I have a hard clay soil in the tropic, which is not suitable for casava, i need to amend it first, and I can't grow it here in Washington.
I adore your videos. I find them so informative but also I find them so calming. It's like you are the permaculture Mr. Roger's.
Awesome weedy
Really relaxing and charming video :) thank you!
Die you know that in the amazon they grate and ferment the cassava and then make a kind of pancake out of it?
There are many ways to prepare Cassava, but I didn’t know that one.
Delicious grow !
Thanks for the video. I just started growing Cassava and Yacon roots in Mesa, Arizona. Looking forward to trying some of the things you showed in the video.
It feels so good eating home cooked meals with ingredients from your own garden init. Looks yummy 😋
We are about to pull up our yacon. No idea if I will like it. But we grew it to try.
Can't wait. Only issue if we like it.... it can't grow where it was. I need somewhere else.
You will love it. I think it can give you the farts if you eat a tummy full!
@@TheWeedyGarden hope so, our food forest and raised beds are mostly for growing things we cannot buy.
The movement to not only return to original indigenous methods of yuca/cassava culinary options but also developing new ones is growing in Cuba and Jamaica where the crop is native (The Taíno are the the indigenous people of Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, Borinquen, and Santo Domingo).
Again, thank you WG 🐻
Would love a video on your Hemp plants.....please
lol. I didnt grow the hemp seeds😢
@@TheWeedyGarden maybe its a good time to try.
That is a great video. Good to see how you can produce such filling, nutritious calorie dense food in your own garden.
Not so applicable to Tasmania, where bananas and cassava won't grow, and yacon would be iffy. Even lemon trees suffer in the cold here.
But I do love to make buckwheat pancakes, and buckwheat is grown here commercially. I will try that this year.
There is also millet and sorghum, for grains easy to process into flour. I think my summer frosts would even kill them though.
Berry syrup or jam is easy to grow and make here.
If we have the land, we should try to include some of these staple foods for self sufficiency. We can't live on garlic and kale!
frost sucks!
@@TheWeedyGarden
It sure does! Though it's pretty and kills off lots of pests.
I used to live near Brisbane where you could toss a rotten tomato or pawpaw out the kitchen window, go out a few weeks or months later and discover a bountiful harvest.
But the mozzies were so big they could carry you off.
Really enjoyed watching this farm to table video
no taste reaction? disappointed lol
🥲
@@TheWeedyGarden Sounds like a great opportunity to make a YT Short, enjoying the recipe
I am dying to try this.
I can tell you that this tasted so great!
That was fantastic.🤗
I love the way you you can grow your cassava and turn it in to flour.
Your knowledge is put to good use.
Love your work.
🥞🫕🥘🫓🥞yummy.❤
Omg the Yacon the Syrup and those pancakes delicious looking. Thank you for your amazing videos and the how to do it yourself awesome. Thanks Weedy Garden
This is one of your best yet WG. This is superlative. Kudos to you and much appreciation. Thank you. #WintaDownUnda
Beautiful pancakes, how lucky those bears are to have such a wonderful picnic!😊
Thank you for the inspiration Mr Weedy, off to the kitchen I go
Thank you for taking the time to make us pancakes and syrup. They look fabulous!
Wow, so wholesome, earth to kitchen to plate and no food miles and no plastic🙌👀🙌👀🔥🔥🔥. I am sure the teddies and you had a lovely yummy picnic! Thank you Weedy for taking me along on the ride. I did learn a lot.
Another mad video weedy you do awesome work
Thanks fella ;-)
Boay, as every time fantastic, quality and creativity!
Ngl That is one of the best looking pancakes I have ever had the pleasure of seeing
so satisfying watching that soil in reverse
Yum! can't wait to try this one day...
What a wholesome video to consume
🥞🌿😋👏🏼💜
Very very cool Weedy
Awesome job
I need cassava in my forrest. 😊
thanks brother
❤
what a brilliant informative video... wonder if those plants would gro in central Portugal... hmmm... I hope you will create more recipes with all stuff grown in the garden :D that is such a nice idea for videos
Omg hahaha my mouth is watering soooooo bad …
Thank you Weedy ❤
looks good MR Weedy.
2x more excellent additions to our planting. Cheers David 👍🙏🇦🇺💕
🥰
Beautiful 🤘🌻
Awesome, as always
Great video Mr. Weedy!
Oat juice 😂
a great video
Mouth watering David! Thank you 🌿
Growing pancakes! Yes!! Thanks for the info on yacon. I’m going to plant some
Yummy!
Fantastic, Fantastic work as always!!!
Your vídeos are a truelly treasure! Here we have cassava, yacon and banana trees. Easily to grow in the country side.
Cassava its a very productive and versatile plant. Its also possible to make glue with the roots powder! And we can feed yourselfs, chickens, cows, pigs.... Eat without reserve!❤😊
Hugs from Brasil!🎉😮
It is really a lot of work to process. That`s why you want big healthy plants that make a big fat root so you can easily process it ... yeah!
I loved that video Weedy! Except the oat milk you grew everything in that recipe!!! Thats so impressive
Oh…and the hemp seeds 🙃
@@TheWeedyGarden but that was just the garnish, but I'm sure you could grow that too
Totally going to try to grow as i love to eat them. Gets so bloody hot in qld! these will do well. Just adore your videos. My little garden girls loved the teddy bears and your videos. Honestly your videos are so relaxing and inspiring . Keep up the amazing work. Love the cookibg videos!
So nice of you to comment. Thanks
So easy to listen to, thanks, Im sleepy now.❤
Good night
Would love to see you go full permaculture and dry the cassava or even other foods in a solar oven 😀👍
At some point I’ll need new ideas
Totally enjoy your vlogs, Weedy. Fantastic as usual 😊🎉
Thanks so much! 😊
I'm confused, aren't you supposed to boil cassava before you eat it? To remove the cyanide?
Correct. Cooking it yes. Pancakes get fried. Same same 👍
@@TheWeedyGarden ohhhh ok! I thought it was specifically boiling that removes it. That really opens up a lot of possibilities! Haha thanks, I will definitely try this
As a Ceoliac I have trouble finding anything good.
(Industry knee jerk reaction is to ADD gluten to get everything.)
Found your Channel today and started binge watching .
Thank YOU.
BTW so to be clear, you went from Photography to Food Farm?
Awesome.
Exactly. And I knew nothing when I started (about growing food). Glad you are watching and thank you so much for the contribution Max.
@@TheWeedyGarden I am discovering Permaculture and how it all works together. Hopfully one day I can build a Farm space like what you have going there.
I know how hard it is to get these videos together, hope it all helps.
I researched cassava and it turned out to be toxic if eaten too much. Is this real
@@slaturwinters1828 I searched for it and I don't know if it's true or not. It is called cyanide poisoning. They also say that it absorbs toxic elements from the soil such as arsenic, cadmium, and pesticides.. I don't know if it's real either or not
Yes it is true. Cassava contain cyanide but it is mostly concentrated in the skin of the tuba. You should not eat them raw because of this. Cooking will make it safe to eat
This is true. It has been documented. Perhaps the first western documentation of this was by Bartolome de las Casas who wrote that when the Spanish made their intentions apparent in Haiti the Taíno fled, fought, or committed suicide. The two most common methods for the mass suicides were jumping off cliffs (e.g. the Yumuri River in Baracoa, Cuba) and making poisons from the cassava/yuca.
@@TheWeedyGarden Alright, thanks for the clarification. I wish you all the best
