Cassava is a source of food, but it cannot be eaten raw. Cassava that has been soaked and peeled provides vegetable nutrition, while peeled cassava that has been dried and ground provides grain nutrition.

Obtaining

Wild-growing cassava.

Mature cassava

Small patches of cassava crops can be found while exploring, in areas with the following temperature, precipitation, and forestation.

Parameter	Min. value	Max. value
Temperature	23	48
Rainfall	0.2	0.6
Forest	0.1	0.4

Chunks meeting these conditions have a 7% likelihood of generating 1-7 cassava crops, which might include a mix of mature and immature crops.

Cassava and cassava seeds cannot be found in cracked vessels or purchased from any traders .

Cultivation

Cassava crops tolerate temperatures 4°C to 44°C. If the temperature drops below 4°C or exceeds 44°C, the cassava crop will become “stunted” and begin to accumulate damage. Stunted cassava crops will yield 50% of normal when harvested. If they accumulate enough damage to die from excessive cold or heat, cassava crops will yield 50% of normal when harvested but the player is guaranteed 1 seed no matter the growth stage.

Cassava crops consume 25 K (potassium) from the soil over 9 stages of growth.

Usage

Unlike most grown crops, cassava cannot be eaten raw or cooked unless it is peeled. To start this process, the raw cassava must be place in a barrel filled with water and sealed for a day. Once the process is complete, the soaked cassava can be peeled by crafting it with a knife of any kind, after which it can be eaten raw or be used in cooking . Peeled cassava is categorized as a vegetable, and can be used as an ingredient in:

• Meat stew (1-2)
• Vegetable stew (1-4)
• Soup (1-3)
• Porridge (1-2)

Drying

Peeled cassava will turn into dried cassava after 48 hours in open storage. Dried cassava has a very long freshness timer of 112 days, but cannot be eaten or cooked on its own. Instead, it must be ground into flour using a quern . Cassava flour is treated like any other grain flour, and can be made into bread or cassava ale .

Storage

Once harvested, cassava may be stored in the inventory or stationary containers . Raw cassava also benefits from storage in a cellar . Peeled cassava's fresh lifespan can also be extended with proper storage. Storing peeled cassava in a sealed container such as a ceramic storage vessel will also lengthen the time needed to dry it out.

Notes

• Grains such as rye can be cooked in a pot to make porridge. Peeled cassava may be added to porridge as a vegetable component, but cannot be the base ingredient. Once dried, the way to get grain nutrition from cassava is to grind it into flour. Flour can make dough for bread and pie, but cannot make porridge.
