| Malanga DESCRIPTION The malanga root is wrapped in a though brown and shaggy patchy thin skin that reveals its pinkish, beige or yellowish flesh, not consistent in shape, with a very crisp slippery texture. Cooked delivers a distinct nutlike flavor and texture resembling a potatoe, boiled develops a smooth and melting quality. People with food allergies sometimes find that malanga is a great hypoallergenic flour alternative because of its very small particles of starch, reducing the risk of an allergic reaction. |
