Recipe Introduction:

The food in the image is cassava (also known as manioc or yuca), a starchy root vegetable that is a staple in many parts of the world. While it is an essential food source, cassava contains natural cyanogenic compounds that can be toxic if not prepared properly. If consumed raw or improperly processed, it can cause poisoning. However, when prepared correctly (through boiling, soaking, and drying), cassava is safe to eat and can be enjoyed in various dishes, such as fries, stews, or even as flour.

This recipe will guide you through the correct steps to safely prepare and cook cassava.
