Ive heard that some Cassava is not safe to eat. Is Aricos Cassava safe?
Arico Cassava Chips use cassava cultivars that have low cyanide levels. Thru processing (i.e. soaking in water, rinsing, and frying), the cyanide is eliminated, thus the finished products are safe to eat. Cyanide (cyanogenic glycosides) naturally occurs in edible plants such as cassava, almonds, sorghum, lima beans, stone fruits and bamboo shoots.
