In the vernacular, cultivars that produce roots with bitter taste are called vyakubaba (bitter), whereas those yi...

Classification of cassava into bitter" and "cool" in Malawi: from farmers perception to characterization by molecular markers"

Autor: Mkumbira, J. Chiwona-Karltun, L. Lagercrantz, U. Mahungu, N.M. Saka, J. Mhone, A. Bokanga, M. Brimer, L. Gullberg, U. Rosling, H.

Cassava roots, a major food in Africa, contain cyanogenic glucosides that may cause toxic effects. Malawian women farmers considered fields of seemingly similar cassava plants to be mixes of both ‘cool’ and ‘bitter’ cultivars. They regard roots from ‘cool’ cultivars as non-toxic. Roots of ‘bitter...
