Tapioca Root

1. Side Effects :
   • the Tapioca has small quantities of cyanide and should never be eaten raw. If eaten raw, the natural toxicity of this plant can cause abdominal pains, nausea, and death. It's worth noting, however, the cyanide level is much higher in the skin than in the rest of the plant. The process to disperse the cyanide includes peeling the vegetable, sun-drying it, boiling it in water, and then cooking it. Only then is Tapioca safe to eat.
   • Also, since tapioca does have a very high carbohydrate and caloric content, if you are trying to lose weight, it might not be the best food to add to your diet.
