Agriculture / seguridad alimentaire | | English term or phrase: de-pithed | Cassava shall be peeled, de-pithed, cut into pieces, washed and
- Fully cooked before consumption; and |
| | | se sacará el pabilo del centro de las raíces | Explanation:
the pith is the part you eat, so I think that instead of pith, they mean to remove the "vascular bundle" - please see illustration here:
A transversal section of the root (See Figure 2) reveals three distinct parts: the peel, the central pith, and the vascular bundle. The peel is usually not considered suitable for human consumption, but can be used for feeding pigs. The central pith is the edible portion; it constitutes the bulk of the root and is primarily a storage parenchyma harbouring a multitude of xylem vessels. A thin layer of cambium mainly responsible for the root expansion surrounds the storage parenchyma whose cells accumulate large starch granules. At the centre of the parenchymal tissue, the primary xylem is organised in a fibrous vascular bundle.
