Cassava is also known as "yuca". It's a root vegetable and there are many recipes relating to it. If you know how to prepare and prepare properly then it's a great snack.

In this video, I show you how I peel yuca's skins. After peeling, I soak them in the rice water overnight. Usually, I peel them in the evening and then soak them through a night until late morning. If I don't have time to cook, just leave them there until late afternoon/evening, however, don't soak them too long. When soaking, make sure they are under the water; otherwise, those float above the soaked water level might have some dark lines. If you don't have rice water, I think you can use salted water instead.

Here are some quotes about cassava which I got from Wikipedia I think you should know.
1. Cassava roots, peels and leaves should not be consumed raw because they contain two cyanogenic glucosides, linamarin and lotaustralin. These are decomposed by linamarase, a naturally occurring enzyme in cassava, liberating hydrogen cyanide (HCN).[34]
2. Brief soaking (four hours) of cassava is not sufficient, but soaking for 18–24 hours can remove up to half the level of cyanide. Drying may not be sufficient, either.[43]
3. Societies that traditionally eat cassava generally understand that some processing (soaking, cooking, fermentation, etc.) is necessary to avoid getting sick.[39]
4. Symptoms of acute cyanide intoxication appear four or more hours after ingesting raw or poorly processed cassava: vertigo, vomiting, and collapse. In some cases, death may result within one or two hours.
