Women dig up manioc tubers in the plantation and carry them in baskets to the village. There the tubers are freed from their outer skin and then washed in the river. Brought back to the village, they are rasped on rasping boards placed on banana leaves. The resulting mass is put in pressing bags and freed by traction from its poisonous sap. Flat cakes are made from the manioc-flour and baked on iron plates set over the fireplace.
