They are a different variety than the ones I remember eating in the States. I still eat plenty of guacamole; salt, red onions, limes, and hot peppers are all grown locally. Cilantro would also be a nice touch, but I have yet to see it grown here (basil is ok for guac but not as good as cilantro).<br><br>You are right about the cassava greens and calcium (although they are boiled here, which may affect calcium availability as it is water soluble). Apparently, cassava roots are also rich in calcium. Still, the taste of the roots is quite different than anything I have ever had, and the smell is even stranger. I am not yet a fan.
