Eu saúdo a mandioca.

Cassava (also known as yuca or manioc) was first domesticated by the ancestors of indigenous groups in the Rondonia region of western Brazil, over millennia. From South America, it spread to the world, from West Africa to Polynesia, helping feed millions and becoming ingrained into local cultures. This blog salutes the manioc ― and, through it, the ingenuity, laboriousness, and generosity of Native South Americans.

"Ontem visitamos a casa de farinha na aldeia Vista Alegre de Capixauã. Uma atividade que gera renda para a comunidade e mantém viva uma tradição importante do povo da região."

E você, já saudou a mandioca hoje?

Did you know… Manioc (also known as cassava) is extremely poisonous unless properly prepared ☠️ It was developed by indigenous people in South America and is now a staple food for around a billion people around the world! 🙌#WorldFoodDay pic.twitter.com/BPJEGgeFTx

Betty Meggers e Clifford Evans comendo beiju entre os Waiwai by Biblioteca Digital Curt Nimuendajú Via Flickr: "In Wai Wai Land the Authors Eat as Wai Wai Do, Dipping Cassava Bread into Pepper Pot Bitter cassava, or manioc, a poisonous root, provides the Wai Wai staff of life. Women grate it into a pulp, squeeze out the deadly juice, and use the meal in crisp, thin cakes like the one shown on the woven tray. Charlie, a Wapishana Indian who guided the expedition, shares the meal. Married to a Wai Wai, he came from a savanna where Indians wear clothing." In Evans, Clifford & Meggers, Betty J. 1955.

Processamento da mandioca by Biblioteca Digital Curt Nimuendajú Via Flickr: Embora apenas o oitavo (e último) livro de Marcgrave trate especificamente dos costumes dos povos indígenas, informações de interesse etnográfico e lingüístico permeiam a obra inteira. Ao tratar da mandioca, por exemplo, Piso fornece uma descrição detalhada da produção da farinha (usando, para tanto, a terminologia indígena). [Piso, Willem. De Medicina Brasiliensis. Liber Quartus (De Facultatibus Simplicium), p. 53. In Historia Naturalis Brasiliae]
