컬렉션: Roots and Tubers

Sri Lanka is home to a rich variety of root and tuber crops, which play a vital role in the country's agriculture and diet. Commonly grown varieties include cassava, sweet potato, yam, and taro. These crops are well-suited to the island’s tropical climate and are often cultivated in home gardens and small farms. Root and tubers are staple foods, especially in rural areas, due to their high carbohydrate content and ability to grow in less fertile soil. They are used in traditional Sri Lankan cuisine in curries, snacks, and desserts. Their cultivation also supports food security and rural livelihoods.
