There are a large number of potato plants growing in Latin America, among which cassava and sweet potato are the favorite foods of indigenous people. It is precisely because of the great geographical discovery that potatoes were introduced to Asia and Europe that the world population has greatly increased.
Cassava and sweet potato, which are often eaten in Cuba today, have been very popular since indigenous times.
Ordinary people's habit of processing cassava is to peel off the hard shell like scab shell and rinse off the thick, spicy and greasy slurry.
Then cut it into finger-length pieces, spread it evenly on the baking tray, and heat it in the oven until the white cassava becomes translucent and soft, then take it out and pour the broth. Cassava will absorb the soup, then sprinkle with salt and garlic, and squeeze some lemon juice when eating.
It's fragrant and slippery, and it melts in the mouth. Besides potatoes, fried vegetables and bananas are also common. Cuba grows a large number of bananas, plantains and vegetable bananas, among which vegetable bananas are hard and tasteless, but crispy and delicious after slicing, drying and frying.
Corn is also a common crop in Latin America. The ancients liked to grind corn into batter, then pour it into a package made of corn leaves, tie it up, fry it in a pot, steam it in a pot, or bury it in the ground and bake it on the fire. This food is called corn zongzi.
