Kamoteng Kahoy Leaves in the food context refer to the leaves of the cassava plant, also known as yuca or manioc. Cassava, scientifically named Manihot esculenta, is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions for its starchy tuberous root, which is a major source of carbohydrates. The leaves, often overlooked in some cuisines, are also edible and highly nutritious, rich in protein, vitamins (especially Vitamin A and Vitamin C), and minerals.
