CASSAVA

Cas "sa *va, n. Etym: [F. cassave, Sp. cazabe, fr. kasabi, in the language of Hayti.]

 

1. (Bot. )

 

Defn: A shrubby euphorbiaceous plant of the genus Manihot, with fleshy rootstocks yielding an edible starch; -- called also manioc.

 

Note: There are two species, bitter and sweet, from which the cassava of commerce is prepared in the West Indies, tropical America, and Africa. The bitter (Manihot utilissima ) is the more important; this has a poisonous sap, but by grating, pressing, and baking the root the poisonous qualities are removed. The sweet (M. Aipi ) is used as a table vegetable.

 

2. A nutritious starch obtained from the rootstocks of the cassava plant, used as food and in making tapioca.
