WHAT IS MALANGA?
Malanga is a root vegetable similar to the consistency of a potato. It has great nutritional properties and it is typically consumed in South America, Africa and some tropical regions such as Puerto Rico.
I remember growing up my mom would make boiled malanga with a side of veggie meat and salad.
It is a simple and nutritious food.
