Welcome to Unwrap where we cook up creepy tales of crime, horror or the supernatural all tied to a chilling dish. We’ll discover the scariest secrets served on a plate here in my kitchen.
Thank you so much! The subtitles helped me learn something about cassavas. I love the effort you into the background (all those webs and candles), music and concept as well. That close-up cassava split was wicked and almost gave me trauma btw 😮
Thanks! I've been meaning to watch this (3 months ago). Glad I revisited! As someone who is also surrounded by cassava and have burnt my tongue eating a sliced cassava that very likely wasn't cooked properly, this is highly interesting
I know that story before and I watched it on the news. It is very sad considering that some parents of the dead students cannot accept their child has died that they make them lie on the beds as they believed they just sleeping. Even the teacher, who witnessed her students suffering from agonizing abdominal pain and slowly succumbing from the suspected poison, cannot interviewed properly due to shock and continously sobbing non-stop. They made the theory of the improper making of cassava desserts as the culprit. But after thorough investigation of the police, it was revealed that a rat poison that has been in the kitchen of the cassava maker accidentally tainted in the mixture of the dessert before baking. Thus, making the students who ate the dessert , quickly experience the poisoning. Rest in Peace to those innocent children..😔😔😔
Choy i remember it was a pesticide called sevin, can we call this sensationalism or misleading, done for more money? I doubt that they didnt dug deep enough info. , to conclude that it was the cassava was the cause.
Cassava actually contains cyanogenic compounds which is what makes it bitter at times. Here in Malawi where I live we like eating them raw as a snack, a gamble really 😅.
My mom told me that planting Cassava up-side-down and plantingbitvdiring the rainy season adds to the poison content in the cassava. Im not sure if it's true.
@@dolores9276My grandma told me that also..The older stalk (near the plant base usually darker brown) should be planted on the ground not the young ones near the leaves. And also if you cut a cassava and it's flesh have some pink blemish, it's poisonous.
Growing up around Philippino culture gave me an appreciation of the food. I get cravings for it all the time, an your channel is just a trigger for my desires...😂 thanks for your hard work.
If that story you talked about was tragedy happened in Mabini, Bohol in 2005, there were almost 90 died of food poisoning, and that was because of a pesticide which was mistaken as flavor enhancer.
As a son of farmer and taga bukid. Ms. Abi, thre are different varieties of cassava, yung ibang klase nakamamatay tlaga lalo na yung tinatawag na rayun (rion?). Ang hirap i-explain o i-differentiate /describe yung itsura ng dahon katawan at pati yung skin ng root crop mismo iba2x kasi mahabang story na. Actually pwede syang kaining hilaw basta yung variety na dilaw yung laman.bMay iba na pwedeng kainin, meron ding hindi. Pero to make sure that it is safe ms. Abi, after peeling the skin off dapat po kinikiskis ng blade ng knife yung cassava mismo. Yung parang nag pipeel ka lng ng ginger gamit kutsara. Yung ibang Province pinipiga nila bago niluluto.
Saw the video of ninong Ry with you as the guest just some minutes past. Made me subscribe on your channel. This is the first video on your channel that i've watched.
I never knew casava\yuca had cyanide in the juices until 12 years ago. I remember my father making yuca patties with beef. I use to get sick if I ate too many.... He would grate and let drain in a colander, but he would never squeeze all the juices out before forming and cooking, and the grating machine left little chunks instead of fine slivers.
Hmmmn, kinakain pa nmin to ng fresh/ hilaw sa probrinsya nmin 😅. Wala nmn akong ma experience or nbblitaang nfofood poison. There might be some cyanide on it but not lethal enough when you consume it. I read somewhere n ung incident n yan is actually due to pesticide mistakenly used sa pag prep nung food.
This is just so informative especially for this new generation that loves to eat more! Plus it is a halloween episode i believe… hoping this 2024 halloween will have another one please
Masarap din Yung dahon nto, luluto mo s gata na may taba ng baboy or Yung maliliit na mushroom na natubo sa kahoy or isda , pero dapat lutong luto Yung pag kakagulay kc nakaka lason din....
To prepare cassava, GRATE it and then PRESS it with Something heavy for an hour(?). I dont know how to cook it but i know when my aunt is cooking some "Binago" when i saw white cloth pressed with huge rocks
Hi there. Could add English subtitles? I saw your FB reel and your content was very intriguing but alas I couldn't understand that's the Tagalog parts so i went looking here in case you did add them here
Actually, dito sa probinsya, naniniwala kaming nakalalason lang ang cassava kapag mali ang pagkakatanim nito. At naniniwala kami na kapag pinaglaruan at pinuna mo ang cassava habang kinakain mo, nagtatampo iyan at kumikitil talaga ng buhay.
eto ba yung sa bohol back in 2005? im from the same province and kung tama yung pagkakatanda ko, pesticides na napagkamalang harina yung final na findings nila
The most important parts are: make sure not to undercook cassava, also don’t eat it raw. Grating cassava and soaking in water and rinsing before cooking helps remove the cyanogen. It’s better to use young cassava, avoid old/hard cassava with streaks of black.
Hi! I always watch and rewatch your vids, may i request a tamales original and abi marquez's version recipes. This would be great to try for kids to enjoy. Thank you and more power to you!
i am originally from the south of india, a state called kerala. cassava has been our favourite food for ages and yet i have not heard of any stories of hydrocyanic acid poisoning in kerala. we eat cassava raw as well as cooked and also in combination with different types of meat. yet we are still ok. is it possible that the sickness was caused by something else. just search youtube for a song "idukki song" and play the first video. you will understand the life of simple village folks and their relationship with cassava in kerala
True. It was not really because of the cassava. Accdng to the investigation it was a chemical for poisoning rat that accidentally tainted the cassava grater. And some said, the cook accidentally mixed a chemical fertiliser thinking it was a sugar.
From where I'm coming from we eat this daily... Just cut to bite size pieces, boil it ( make sure u half cook it, replace water and cook again), once cooked crush birds eye chilli, shallots and some grated coconut with turmeric. Have it with a spicy fish curry or beef curry or lamb curry. Once u experience it there's no going back. ❤
Fyi, it's not the way you cook it it's the way you plant it po😊 If you plant it up side down that can be poisonous. Might make sure that your cassava planted the right way😊 Edit: My grandma thought me so🤭
Sinabi ko yan dati sa iba tinawanan lng ako . Balak ko kasi dati mag tinda ng pichi-pichi kaya nag research ako about sa cassava at may risk kaya hindi ko na tinuloy 😅
panong magkakamoteng kahoy ang pagtanim ng tangkay ng pabaliktad, eh baliktad nga. d tutubo yun. kht magtanim ka ng cuttings ng kht na anong halaman nang pabaliktad, hndi tutubo eh

Hindi ba gabi yung sinasabi mo? Cassava ba eh kamoteng kahoy? Yung ugat nung shrub na parang kahoy at malalapad yung leaves. Sabi nila gabi yung delikadong lutuin.
Cassava = Kamoteng Kahoy. bago sakin yang shrub na parang kahoy na may malapad na leaves na sinasabi mo. kasi ang Gabi ay malapad na leaves pero hndi kahoy yun, ang kamoteng kahoy naman ay kahoy nga ang katawan pero hndi ganon kalapad ang dahon non
