木薯（Manihot esculenta）是一种含有氰化物的粮食作物，被亚马逊地区的许多土著人民使用。亚马逊西北部的图卡诺印第安人既使用“苦”木薯，也使用“甜”木薯。那些被归类为“苦”的是主食。对13种常用“苦”品种的分析表明，与文献报道的氰化物含量相比，它们的氰化物含量很高。图卡努人在食用部分中加入内皮的做法导致氰化物含量很高。
Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is a cyanide-containing food crop used by many indigenous peoples in Amazonia. Tukanoan Indians in Northwest Amazonia utilize both "bitter" and "sweet" cassava cultivars. Those classified as "bitter" are the dietary staple. Analysis of 13 commonly used "bitter" cultivars indicates that they are high in cyanide in comparison to values reported in the literature. The Tukanoan practice of including the inner peel in the edible portion contributes to the high cyanide values found.
