General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

Cited: - ? The hook fact appears in the article and is cited in the Preparation section, but I think the wording of the current hook is broader than the article text. The article says that casabe may be made from either bitter or sweet cassava, although bitter varieties are more common, and that bitter cassava is toxic unless processed into casabe or farinha. The hook says that the "main ingredient" of casabe is toxic, which compresses those points and may be read too broadly. Could the hook be revised to match the article more closely, or could a source be cited that directly verifies both parts of the current wording: that the main ingredient is the toxic form and that it is toxic before processing?
Interesting:
Other problems: - The hook is under 200 characters. Suggested wording: ALT1: ... that casabe (pictured) is usually made from bitter cassava, which is toxic before processing?

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article is new enough and long enough, appears adequately sourced and neutral, and QPQ has been supplied. The image is free, used in the article, and clear enough. Holding only for hook wording/verification. The current hook is interesting, but I suggest revising it to avoid overstatement. The image is acceptable, though if the nominator wants a clearer product-focused image, the article's infobox image of stacked casabe could also work. Umais 🗣 07:44, 11 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Comment @Umais Bin Sajjad: I thought the hook had to be under 200 characters not over the limit. 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 19:26, 28 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
