Did you know that a popular food eaten by millions around the world kills over 200 people every year?
It’s called cassava (yuca) – and while it’s a lifesaving crop in many countries, eating it raw or poorly prepared can release deadly cyanide into your body.
But don’t panic — when properly cooked (boiled, soaked, or fermented), cassava is completely safe and delicious!
If you eat or cook cassava, always:
✔️ Peel it well
✔️ Soak it for hours (if bitter)
✔️ Boil it thoroughly
✔️ Throw away the water after cooking
Stay safe — and share this to help spread awareness! 🌍🍽️
