How to Process and Remove Toxins from Cassava
In cassava, there is HCN, a volatile substance that easily dissolves in water and can be oxidized into non-toxic cyanide acid, combining with sugar to form non-toxic substances. To avoid poisoning, we can remove toxins from cassava by:
- Peeling before cooking, soaking cassava in water for a while before cooking fresh cassava. When cooking, open the lid to let HCN evaporate.
- When boiling cassava, change the water 2-3 times to reduce toxins.
- Sliced and dried cassava also reduces the toxins in cassava.
- Sweet cassava types must be processed immediately after harvesting; otherwise, they should be buried.
- It is not advisable to eat cassava at night, as symptoms of poisoning occurring at night may not be detected in time or may not receive timely emergency treatment.
