Is yuca (cassava) poisonous?

Asked by lostinyoureyes (1121points) November 21st, 2011

We just bought one at our local grocery – peeled, chopped and steamed it to eat. Then googled it to find out it is converted to cyanide in the body if cooked improperly…how do I know if I cooked it properly or not? Anyone know anything about this??
