You can get it in any local ethnic grocery store. Yes, it's good. Cook it as if your cooking potatoes. Peel the brown skin and put them in a pot with enough water to cover and salt.
Do you live in Alaska? I can't help you. Do you live in Idaho? I can't help you.
If you live in the big city with different ethnicity, yes you can find it their grocery store.
Good eat, good game, or whatever makes you happy.

Yucca can easily be substituted for potatoes in soups and stews and it contains a high amount of vitamin C and carbohydrates. It is also a good source of dietary fiber and contains approximately 120 calories per 1 cup serving. Historically ripe yucca fruit was split, the seeds taken out and eaten raw or roasted over coals. Young fresh yucca stalks were boiled or cooked over coals and eaten like asparagus. Seedpods were baked and eaten or sliced and dried for winter use.

You can buy frozen yucca at your grocers freezer. That is the only type of yucca I buy and the hard work of peeling is already done for you.
Enjoy!

I don't know where you live Here in California most stores pride themselves at being able to find the hard to find item. I have gotten candies from Germany, plantains, yucca, salt cod, you know the hard to find items. Try you local grocer they might be able to special order it from the green grocer.

I'm in NJ and usually find it at the Latin supermarkets (Twin City is a popular market). My family has also cooked it with coconut milk and sugar to make a sweet, warm dessert.

I live in Stillwater Oklahoma. My local Wal-Mart has it fresh year round. If we can get it here you should be able to get it anywhere by asking the produce manager.
