I’ve always wondered about the cassava root: a staple food product eaten by millions that contains cyanide. It takes a multi-step, multi-day process to make it safe to consume. How many bothans had to die to bring us this information? Something to ponder next time you’re enjoying some tapioca.

Unsolicited fun fact: you can test whether a berry is poisonous by first rubbing it on your skin, if there’s no reaction, rub it on the outside your face. Nothing? Rub it on your lips. Then eat a tiny bit. Then eat more!
