[ERT: 10 min.] - Simple, Localized Approaches to Food Systems Resilience and Food Security in Southeast Asia --- Part Three: Staple food diversification – Cassava, Yams and various Wild Tubers
Hi David, are you familiar with the different cassava varieties? We have a few here but don't know the names. We also ferment them in a few ways to change the taste. Seems like cultures that eat cassava as a staple usually ferment them to reduce the anti nutritional compound. We try to eat cassava for breakfast everyday but it takes getting used to. Our stomachs are used to rice and bread and eating too much cassava sometimes give us a bloat.
Sweet potatoes are much harder to grow where I am at. We have the purple yam too and they definitely grow well in some shade.
