Grown in the nutrient-rich volcanic soil of St. Vincent, Simply Pure Agroprocessing sources only the finest dasheen to deliver exceptional quality for both home and commercial kitchens.

Highly versatile, dasheen can be boiled, roasted, mashed, or incorporated into soups and stews as a wholesome, satisfying ingredient. Its dense texture makes it a popular substitute for potatoes and other root vegetables in global cuisines.

Why Choose Dasheen?

• Nutrient-dense: Excellent source of dietary fiber, potassium, and iron.
• Naturally gluten-free: Ideal for healthy, allergy-conscious diets.

Versatile cooking: Perfect for both savory and sweet applications.

Preparation Made Easy

Peel dasheen carefully with a knife (use gloves if needed to avoid any irritation from the raw flesh). Cook thoroughly by boiling or steaming before consuming, as raw dasheen contains natural compounds that are neutralized with heat.
