Simple question

Can the water that cooked the cassava be used as watering water? Is it beneficial in any way with its “nutrients”?

They contain cyanide prior to boiling. I’d avoid it. If the water contains any bit of cyanide leftover I’d be worried about it in the plant. I don’t know if it cooks out or if the water just draws it out. Without understanding the science better I’d be inclined to play it safe and not use it.

I saw here that it really has cyanide, but raw, after correct cooking it eliminates these cyanide substances, a friend used it on his plant he said it really “boosted” it.

The boiling will get rid of the cyanide from the root or other parts of the plant but remains in the water. I wouldn’t use it just to be safe.

Okay, thanks for the explanations and I won’t use it.
