Cassava is found in many countries, especially in West Africa, and is the most important food crop besides rice. In many countries in the West African sub-region, the staple food is rice. Next to rice is cassava, a tuber which is prepared as food in a variety of ways. Cassava is first pealed, boiled and eaten just like that, either with salt, for those who cannot afford anything else, or with palm oil, fish, meat gravy or stew.
