Hi Jamiesmom, the answer to ur question is that cassavas can be very toxic if eaten raw (don't try it ever!) but if cooked or baked its like eating a potatoe. Howeve, Ghana yams and Nigerian yams (white/yellow on the inside) are harmless to eat. However, its still like a potatoe where u would have to cook or bake it in order to eat it. Unfortunately, I am not able to put website on this forum, but trying type in a search enging ' Nigerian yams' or 'ghana yams' for sale online and see if u can order it online or find a store that sells them close to you. the best way to get all the nutrients in the yam is if you roast it will the skin on, and then peel off the skin when its time to eat it..
