Cassava (Manihot esculenta)
Cassava (Manihot esculenta). Watercolour artwork of a cassava plant. This perennial shrub is cultivated for its edible tubers which are a rich source of carbohydrate. Apart from this they have very little nutritional value, although the leaves of the plant are a rich source of protein. Like the potato, the cassava originates in South America where it is still a popular crop. It is also grown throughout Africa and Asia. Cassava is best eaten immediately after harvesting after which it is stored in water until cooking, to prevent the flavour from spoiling

EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolour artwork showcases the beauty of a cassava plant (Manihot esculenta), a perennial shrub cultivated for its edible tubers. With its vibrant hues and intricate details, this illustration highlights the significance of cassava as a rich source of carbohydrates. Originating in South America, this versatile crop has gained popularity across Africa and Asia. While cassava tubers offer little nutritional value beyond carbohydrates, the leaves of this plant are an excellent source of protein. Similar to potatoes, cassava requires immediate consumption after harvesting or storage in water until cooking to preserve its flavor. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this botanical wonder through their meticulous brushstrokes. This stunning piece not only celebrates nature's diversity but also serves as a reminder of our reliance on agriculture for sustenance. Through this artwork, we delve into the world of botany and agricultural practices while appreciating the aesthetic appeal that lies within plants like cassava. As we admire each stroke and color choice, we gain insight into the biology behind root vegetables and starch-rich foods. Science Photo Library presents us with yet another masterpiece that seamlessly combines artistry with scientific knowledge—a testament to their commitment to showcasing both beauty and educational value in their prints.
