From the roots of which plant is Tapioca made?
"converted into cyanide. Konzo (also called mantakassa) is a paralytic disease associated with several weeks of almost exclusive consumption of insufficiently processed bitter cassava. In the north and northeast of Brazil, traditional community-based production of tapioca is a by-product of manioc flour production from cassava roots. In this process, the manioc (after treatment to remove toxicity) is ground to a pulp with a small hand- or diesel-powered mill. This masa is then squeezed to dry it out. The wet masa is placed in a long woven tube called a ""tipiti"". The top of the tube is secured while a large"
"Arrowroot Arrowroot is a starch obtained from the rhizomes (rootstock) of several tropical plants, traditionally ""Maranta arundinacea"", but also Florida arrowroot from ""Zamia integrifolia"", and tapioca from cassava (""Manihot esculenta""), which is often labelled as arrowroot. Polynesian arrowroot or pia (""Tacca leontopetaloides""), and Japanese arrowroot (""Pueraria lobata""), also called kudzu, are used in similar ways. Archaeological studies in the Americas show evidence of arrowroot cultivation as early as 7,000 years ago. The name may come from ""aru-aru"" (meal of meals) in the language of the Caribbean Arawak people, for whom the plant was a staple. It has also been suggested"
"Cassava Manihot esculenta, commonly called cassava (), manioc, yuca, macaxeira, mandioca, aipim and Brazilian arrowroot, is a woody shrub native to South America of the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae. It is extensively cultivated as an annual crop in tropical and subtropical regions for its edible starchy tuberous root, a major source of carbohydrates. Though it is often called yuca in Spanish and in the United States, it differs from yucca, an unrelated fruit-bearing shrub in the family Asparagaceae. Cassava, when dried to a powdery (or pearly) extract, is called tapioca; its fried, granular form is named ""garri"". Cassava is the third-largest"
"may be filled or topped with either ""doces"" (sweet) or ""salgados"" (salty) ingredients, which define the kind of meal the tapioca is used for: breakfast, afternoon tea or dessert. Choices range from butter, cheese, chocolate, bananas with condensed milk, chocolate with bananas, to various forms of meats. In Brazil, a crunchy meal called ""farinha de mandioca"" (, ""manioc flour"") of varying coarseness is produced for use as a condiment, a base for ""farofa"", or a stand-alone side dish. Detoxified manioc roots are ground to a pulp called a ""massa"" and squeezed with a device called a ""tipiti"" to dry it"
"delicacies are cooked from this form of tapioca because it is relatively easier to handle than the raw root itself. Tapioca is cultivated more in several districts, providing steady income to farmers. Tapioca can be consumed raw (after removing the skins/outer cover) or boiled for various dishes or snacks. In Nagaland and Mizoram in Northeast India, tapioca is eaten as a snack. It is usually boiled with a bit of salt in water after skinning it, or snacks are made by drying the tapioca after cutting it. It is then powdered into flour and turned into dough to either make"

(Fresh ginger might contain an enzyme beta D-glucosidase that could potentially lyse cyanogenic glucosides in cassava to release cyanide.) Cassava is planted almost everywhere in Vietnam, and its root is amongst the cheapest sources of food there. The fresh roots are sliced into thin pieces and then dried in the sun. Tapioca is the most valuable product from processed cassava roots there. Cassava was imported to Polynesia during the 19th century. The typical mode of preparation by Samoans and Tongans is steam-baking in underground"
