/ka-MO-teng KA-hoy/
FIL: Isang uri ng halamang-ugat na may mahaba at matigas na balat at maputing laman, kilala rin bilang kasaba o balinghoy.
EN: cassava
This is kamote's cousin, but starchier and needs more prep. You can't just eat it raw, bes, it's poisonous! But when cooked, it becomes the star of cassava cake, pichi-pichi, and sometimes, a substitute for rice during hard times. It's the 'kahoy' (wood) version of kamote because it's tougher and woodier.
A compound word from 'kamote' (sweet potato) and 'kahoy' (wood).
Also known as 'kasaba' or 'balinghoy'.
