Earthy, comforting, and quintessentially Boricua, the Yautía is the soulful root behind Puerto Rico’s most beloved dishes. A staple across the archipelago, this versatile vianda is the secret to perfectly smooth cremas, authentic, flavorful pasteles, and every sopón that warms the heart.
This design celebrates the humble but mighty Yautía with a vibrant hand-illustrated graphic capturing the lush green leaves and textured tubers. It’s a visual tribute to the rich flavors of our culture. Whether you grew up peeling it for sancocho or simply love that velvety texture, this piece is designed to represent that authentic taste of home.
Printed on premium, comfortable apparel, the Yautía design is part of the Playful Gorilla “Orgullo” Mid Summer Collection—a series inspired by the native ingredients, deep traditions, and unwavering orgullo that connect Puerto Ricans across the globe.
