| Plantains and manioc are important foods in much of the country, especially the north and the Mosquitia. |
| Common plants used include manioc, yam, papaya, mango, lime, and frangipani. |
| Traditionally made with manioc flour, this is another thing I have had to improvise. |
| The manioc flour produced by this process is usually toasted on large ceramic griddles called budares. |
| The daily quota of manioc flour must be of five level alqueires, placing enough harvesters so that these can serve to hang up the coverings. |
| Some subsistence farmers earn cash from the sale of copra, cocoa, kava, manioc, pineapples, bananas, and fish. |
