Cassava
Natural Generation
Cassavas appear as a wild crop and are usually found in warm to hot climates.
Harvesting
Player farmed Cassava crops mature at growth stage 9. The crop can be harvested with an empty hand, knife or scythe. When fully mature, each seed planted in a farm yields one cassava and at least one seed when harvested. Harvesting immature plants yields no crop and may not even provide a seed.
Usage
Unlike most grown crops, Cassava cannot be eaten raw or cooked unless its skin is removed. 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 skin can be removed by using a knife of any kind, after which it can be eaten raw or be used as an advanced cooking ingredient in:
- Meat Stew (1-2)
- Vegetable Stew (1-4)
- Soup (1-3)
- Porridge (1-2)
Cassava can be dried which takes 6 hours, however once it is dried, it cannot be eaten or cooked and must be ground in the Quern. Cassava flour is treated as grain which can be made into bread or ale.
Storage
Once harvested, Cassava may be stored in the inventory or stationary containers.
