Energy source: According to NIH Fogarty International Center, cassava is a dietary staple for hundreds of millions of people. It’s carbohydrate-rich & can be a source of energy. It doesn’t have a lot of fat or protein, yet it contains some Vit B complex, minerals, & potassium. The cassava plant produces cyanide which can cause poisoning with nerve damage &, in some cases, death if it's not processed properly
