Are yucca fruits or vegetables?

Yucca plants are not fruits or vegetables, but rather a type of root vegetable also known as cassava or manioc. Yucca plants are native to South America, and the tuberous root of the plant is a staple food in many parts of the world.

The yucca root is starchy and has a slightly sweet flavor. It can be boiled, mashed, fried, or used to make a flour, which is often used in gluten-free baking. Yucca root is also a good source of carbohydrates, fiber, and some essential vitamins and minerals.

It's important to note that yucca plants should not be confused with the ornamental yucca plants that are commonly used in landscaping. While they are related, ornamental yucca plants are not typically used as a food source.
