Cassava is a source of food. Peeled cassava provides vegetable nutrition, while dried cassava provides grain nutrition. It cannot be eaten raw.

Obtaining

Wild-growing cassava.

Mature cassava

Cassava can appear as a wild crop and are usually found in warm to hot climates. It cannot be bought from a trader or found in cracked vessels .

Cultivation

Cassava grows best between 4 - 44°C, and takes 6.67 months (60 days) to grow at default 9 day per month settings. It goes through 9 growth stages. Cassava uses up 25% K nutrients of its farm plot. Mature cassava 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 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.
