There are certainly many foods out there that can make you feel full fast—but they’re not typically part of everyday meals.
So let’s focus on a staple food that’s commonly eaten by people across the globe.
What is it?
Cassava, both a crop and a source of nourishment, plays a vital role in the diets of millions.
Each year, around 500 million people consume cassava, and hundreds of millions of tonnes are produced worldwide.
Cassava is a plant that grows naturally in South America. It is a famous food and a mainstay of many people’s diet, but it can be very dangerous.
You see, the plant’s stems, peel, and leaves are all poisonous and can make hydrogen cyanide, so they should not be eaten raw.
According to The World Health Organization (WHO), about 200 people die every year from eating poisoned cassava. This is why it is called the “world’s de.adli.est food.”
The World Health Organization (WHO) says: “Cassava tubers contain a varying quantity of cyanogenic glucosides which protect the root against attack by animals and insects. Appropriate processing before consumption can reduce cyanogenic glucoside content of cassava. When high cyanogenic cassava is not processed correctly, high dietary cyanide exposure occurs.
