[Title] => Çava, cassava?
[Summary] => Suddenly everyone is talking about cassava, also called kamoteng kahoy (scientific name Manihot esculenta crantz, of the family Euphorbiaceae or Spurge, this information courtesy of Ramon Lim, our education section editor). Because of the tragedy in Bohol where 28 children died after eating maruya and pitsi-pitsi made with cassava flour, this previously benign tuber has achieved infamy. I was curious about how cassava, which you hardly give a second thought to, can contain so much poison as to cause such death and sickness.
