If you don’t prepare manioc properly you will cyanide yourself.

I wonder sometimes how some food items became staples. Things like olives and acorns, that have to be extensively processed to be made edible. "Gee, Og eat manioc. Him die in convulsions. Maybe me boil, pound and wash manioc several times, then see if I die of convulsions."
