[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
These two are brothers and sisters and their parents own a small village business of converting manioc or cassava into flour. This is a stape Brazilian food. Their place has a stone oven where they bake the bread.

The cassava or manioc (Manihot esculenta) is a woody shrub of the Euphorbiaceae (spurge family) that is extensively cultivated as an annual crop in tropical and subtropical regions for its edible starchy tuberous root, a major source of carbohydrate.

Cassava is called mandioca, aipim, or macaxeira in Portuguese, mandio in Guaraní, yuca or mandioca in Spanish, mogho in Gujarati, singkong in Indonesian, tugi in Ilocano, balinghoy in Tagalog, maniok in Danish and Czech, manyok in Haitian Creole and manioc in French.

Information above were taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manioc.

Hi Andre- very nice daily life capture and informative note- if i'm not mistaken, is this cassava poisonous if not cooked well? I seem to recall a group of students in the Philippines getting sick and a couple dying from eating it. Anyway, any interesting shot! TFS my friend!

Best wishes,
Steve
