no special brand, some brands are very expensive ( because of their name)....I order it in a plastic bag, a lot cheaper then an expensive and marvelous looking jar:)

Good thing I read the thread as I saw the pic and the name and immediately thought of the common Yucca filamentosa which has roots/stolons very similar in appearance to the one in the picture. I'll have a look for cassava next time I'm at the Asian grocers.


Rob, I agree about the expensive jar! I buy all my food in bulk and I've just got another 1kg pack of Hikari wafers, but have heard on another site that people have had problems with them causing bloat (partly why I started this thread). I'm going to use them seems how I have been feeding them for 12 months as part of a mixed diet with no ill effects so far.
