Cassava is not the enemy: the risk lies in a lack of knowledge.
Peeling, fermenting, boiling, and balancing the meal are enough to transform a potential poison into a safe, versatile, and delicious food—proof that tradition and science, together, protect the dish and health.

Processed correctly, it becomes an ally in energy-rich and accessible diets.
