English term or phrase: starchy root vegetable
Hola colegas, estoy traduciendo el contenido de una página web de turismo, y estoy estoy segura de hacer traducido correctamente esta frase:
starchy root vegetable cassava

Mi intento es: tubérculos de almidón de mandioca.

Más contexto: The history of bammy goes way, way back. Originally eaten by Jamaica's indigenous inhabitants, this flatbread is made from the starchy root vegetable cassava. It's then soaked in coconut milk and then fried to perfection. Enjoy them on their own in for breakfast or alongside fish or jerk chicken at lunch or dinner.

Gracias por sus sugerencias!

En el contexto provisto yo diría:

raíz de almidón/fécula de la yuca


Explanation:
Esta es otra opción. Veo que se dice más "raíz" que "tubérculo" e indistintamente "fécula" o "almidón".

Disculpen, quise escribir: rica en almidón ya que me refiero a la raíz.
