About Yautia (tannier), raw
Yautia (Xanthosoma sagittifolium), also known as malanga, cocoyam, or tannia, is a starchy tropical root vegetable widely grown and eaten across the Caribbean, Latin America, Africa, and the Pacific. The rough, shaggy brown corm hides dense, crisp flesh that ranges from white to cream, yellow, or pinkish, and it has an earthy, nutty flavor that turns creamy when cooked. Yautia is an energy-rich source of complex carbohydrates along with fiber, potassium, vitamin C, and B vitamins, and its starch is easy to digest, which makes it a common first food and a hypoallergenic staple.
It must always be cooked, and it is boiled, mashed, fried, or grated into fritters, dumplings, stews, and the Caribbean holiday dish pasteles. It thickens soups beautifully and crisps up well when fried. Choose firm, unblemished corms with no soft or moldy spots, and store yautia in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, using it within a week or so since it does not keep as long as many roots.
