Maniok / Cassava / Yuka
Cassava comes from Brazil. It is widely grown in Latin America and the Caribbean. He was there and still is an essential part of the diet.
Cassava is an extremely versatile vegetable. It can be boiled (also steamed), baked, fried, grilled, or added to stews or soups. It is often served as an accompaniment to meats with salt, pepper and lime juice.
Raw cassava tuber is poisonous because it contains manihotoxin glycoside, which is easily converted into highly poisonous Prussian acid. The poisonous properties are lost when boiled, baked or dried, and then the tubers can be eaten without fear of poisoning.
Tapioca is used in confectionery and in the preparation of dietary starchy dishes from starch flour obtained after grinding cassava tubers.
