The South American cassava root has been cultivated as a crop in the tropics for thousands of years. Today, cultivation areas can also be found in Asia and Africa. The hardy root has always been an important food source in its native region. The tapioca starch used by lavera is the dried and ground flour of this power root, which is used in the food industry, among other things, in breads or soups. In cosmetics, it provides a matte, velvety skin feel.
