HELP INDEX NEXT UP PREVIOUS FEEDBACK ATG Cassava

CASSAVA LEAF Cassava, Manioc Manihot includes tropical species that are used as a source of food. They are bushy plants about 2 metres high with palmately-divided leaves and yellowish-green flowering heads. There are poisonous and non-poisonous varieties but as cooking destroys the poison both varieties may be eaten after proper preparation. The roots are edible as they are, or are powdered to produce a kind of flour and in South America an alcoholic drink is made from Cassava. [CH] {FW}
