“There was always food, the community always had food, even if it was just roots.” Roots crops, like Malanga, are fundamental staples for Puerto Rican peoples and culture. Many of these foods are still available at supermarkets yet they “are still not the same as the food you take fresh out of the ground or straight off the tree.”
