Varieties with low glucoside content are termed sweet; those with high glucoside content are termed bitter. These glucosides break down on exposure to air to form hydrocyanic (prussic) acid, which is highly toxic. There are two cyanogenic glucosides in manioc tubers, the major one being linamarin, the minor component being lotaustralin. Bitter manioc has to go through time-consuming processing before it can be adjudged a safe edible product, and any attempts to short-cut such processes results in end-products still containing cyanogens.
