Miss Debbie, the easiest way to peel cassava is to score the outer skin with any sharp knife, then use a butter knife to pry it open. The entire peel will come off in piece. You can remove the entire peel in 30 seconds. I do it all the time. Try it!

Love your videos Ms Debbie! In Sierra Leone we call this Cassava Bread (English) or Cassada Brade (Krio). We serve it with fish fried in a nut oil and a side of fiery pepper sauce. Nut oil is extracted from the inner kernel of the palm fruit. Manners and respect! #SharedHeritage 🇸🇱 🇯🇲

Over 50 years ago a neighbour made bammies regular. She used what she called a press to extract the juice. The gratered cassava was put into a rectangular shaped straw like bag then put between board then heavy weight put on top & left overnight to drain into a container.

Cassava lowers the blood pressure and cleans the blood vessels when prepare the right way. No frying. Bake or cook. Also has low glycemic index which makes it ideal starch if you have diabetes or wants to lose weight. In addition, the water is cyanogenic at a small scale, makes it fight viruses, bacteria, and is a form of prebiotic for your gut. I cook it without salt, drink the broiled water I used to cook it to Lower my BP. It has a lot of potassium which helps circulation. There are other minerals in this root starch veggie. It is my go to starch for breakfast lunch and dinner.

morning Debbie. Like your station because your one if the very few Jamaicans I see cook like my mom did. my mom use the bitter cassava mosy of the time. anyways just something I'm sharing. I realise from a child many Jamaicans always cuts down the casava like that, which takes forever, but miss Bev you can cut the timing of the peeling drastically. all you need to do is peel it as you would banana. cut the two ends and slit the skin from top to bottom. Then the skin literally peel right off, just like a banana skin would.

In Montserrat the bitter Cassava is used to make Bam my, they call it Cassava Bread. My mother in law would grate it, put it in a cloth and wring it to squeeze out the juice, that gets rid of the bitterness. It's then sifted to get rid of the big rough pieces, she made them on a wood fire, so after sifting shed add some salt. A sheet of metal or tin is put over the fire, she had some metal hoops according to the size cassava bread she wanted, put hoop on the hot tin, put in the Cassava and press it down and around the hoop for shape. It takes about 2 to 3 mins, remove the hoop and turn over the bread and finish. She would hang some over a stick and leave about a week, then it's harder and crisp. I liked the harder crisp one with fried Pork. I understand that the older people in Barbados used to do it in the Dutch pot and call it Cassava hat but I never saw it done here. In Montserrat they do it at Xmas time and as long as Cassava is in season. I know for sure that it is the bitter one that they used.
