I made soup yesterday and the vegetables were just too much for it, so instead of trashing them; I decided to use it with the beans.

So peopled eat Cassava like yam? I never knew that was possible till this very moment o. How does it taste?

I would be too afraid to eat unprocessed Cassava like that because of the cyanide content.

Is cassava toxic?

People should not eat cassava raw, because it contains naturally occurring forms of cyanide, which are toxic to ingest. Soaking and cooking cassava makes these compounds harmless.

Eating raw or incorrectly prepared cassava can lead to severe side effects.

Even in places where cassava is a well-known part of the diet, reports have identified several hazards of eating it and taking in too much active cyanide, including:
* paralyzed legs in children
* low levels of iodine
* increased risk of goiter
* tropical ataxic neuropathy, a condition that is more common in older adults and causes a loss of feeling in the hands, poor vision, weakness, walking problems, and the sensation of something being on the feet
* intoxication and eventual death

In addition to containing naturally occurring cyanide, cassava can also absorb pollutants from the area in which it grows, which can be close to roads and factories.

The pollutants that cassava plants may take up and pass along to humans include:

*trace metal elements
* pesticides
* herbicides

Where is the evidence for this claim of yours?

More information I found on eliminating the cyanide content.

Drying is the most ubiquitous processing operation in many tropical countries. Sun drying eliminates more cyanide than oven drying because of the prolonged contact time between linamarase and the glucosides in sun drying. Soaking followed by boiling is better than soaking or boiling alone in removing cyanide.

Traditional African food products such as gari and fufu are made by a series of operations such as grating, dewatering, fermenting, and roasting. During the various stages of gari manufacture, 80 to 95% cyanide loss occurs. The best processing method for the use of cassava leaves as human food is pounding the leaves and cooking the mash in water. Fermentation, boiling, and ensiling are efficient techniques for removing cyanide from cassava peels.

So, you assume your claim true simply because you believe it so?

And we wonder why average life expectancy among, Nigerians, remains as low as it is. Anyways, Goodluck! .

The low life expectancy issue is a real problem oo. Many of my class mates, dem papa especially, no even reach 60 before dem mod. If na oyinbo, dem go talk say it is possibly something in the drinking water but since we no get consistent water supply for ground and all man dey drink from different gutter, na the food we suppose check next.

Even DSS never answer the question for us. So why shouldn't we be more careful for our own sakes.

Airfried for my Son's birthday. So delicious
