Cassava spoils easily after it is harvested. A traditional way to store cassava in West Africa is to dry fresh cassava chips in the hot sun. The chips (called "alibo" in Nigeria) keep for a year. They can then be pounded in a mortar, as we see here, to make flour which is then prepared as a soft food called lafun.
