Rangwe, Homa Bay
Cassava
Sweet varieties only, dug the morning they ship, because cassava begins to forget itself within days. The soil around Rangwe is light and red; it gives roots that cook floury rather than watery.

Cooks floury, as claimed
The difference against market cassava is real. Only note: use it fast, four days is genuinely the limit.
