Arracacha

Arracacha is a starchy root vegetable native to the Andes and commonly used in South American cuisines as a boiled, mashed or roasted tuber; it is known for its slightly sweet, nutty flavor and smooth texture. Nutritionally it is a mostly carbohydrate food that is low in fat and provides a notable amount of potassium (500mg per 100g), along with modest fiber and some vitamin C. Overall, Arracacha is filling and works well as a potato substitute in many dishes; it supplies useful minerals and fiber but is not a significant source of protein or antioxidant-rich phytochemicals compared with brightly colored vegetables.
