Pregnancy guidance

Avoid

Raw cassava should be strictly avoided during pregnancy. Raw cassava contains naturally occurring cyanogenic glycosides that release highly poisonous cyanide when chewed or digested. CDC and FDA food safety authorities warn that cassava must always be thoroughly peeled, soaked, and cooked to eliminate toxic cyanogens. Never consume raw cassava, and only eat fully boiled or baked cassava products from reputable sources.
