So, what is pira?
Pira is a lesser-known tropical root vegetable commonly grown in South America. It has a starchy, slightly sweet taste and is similar in appearance to cassava or yucca. Pira is a versatile ingredient that can be boiled, roasted, or fried, and can be used in a variety of dishes such as soups, stews, and casseroles. This root vegetable is also rich in fiber, vitamin C, and potassium, making it a healthy addition to any diet. Its unique flavor and texture make it an interesting alternative to more common starches like potatoes or rice.
