Manihot esculenta, commonly called cassava, manioc, yuca or tapioca is the 2nd biggest crop in a tropical climate and it serves as the most important calories provider for 1 billion mainly poor people. There are a lot of different types of cassava ranging from sweet to bitter. Besides water and starch, cassava contains glucose/cyanide compounds, a plant toxic. The general rule is that bitter varieties contain more of these compounds.
in 1965 for the first time a connection was made between cassava consumption and spastic paraplegia. Konzo is a neurologic disorder confined to rural Africa, resulting from a diet of excessive cyanogen consumption from inadequately processed cassava root combined with a low protein diet.
