Cây khoai mì(sắn) có nguồn gốc ở vùng nhiệt đới của châu Mỹ La tinh (Crantz, 1976) và được trồng cách đây khoảng 5.000 năm (CIAT, 1993). Trung tâm phát sinh cây khoai mì được giả thiết tại vùng đông bắc của nước Brasil thuộc lưu vực sông Amazon, nơi có nhiều chủng loại khoai mì trồng và hoang dại (De Candolle 1886; Rogers, 1965). Trung tâm phân hóa phụ có thể tại Mexico và vùng ven biển phía bắc của Nam Mỹ. Bằng chứng về nguồn gốc khoai mì trồng là những di tích khảo cổ ở Venezuela niên đại 2.700 năm trước Công nguyên, di vật thể hiện củ khoai mì ở cùng ven biển Peru khoảng 2000 năm trước Công nguyên, những lò nướng bánh khoai mì trong phức hệ Malabo ở phía Bắc Colombia niên đại khoảng 1.200 năm trước Công nguyên, những hạt tinh bột trong phân hóa thạch được phát hiện tại Mexico có tuổi từ năm 900 đến năm 200 trước Công nguyên (Rogers 1963, 1965).
Cây khoai mì được người Bồ Đào Nha đưa đến Congo của châu Phi vào thế kỷ 16.

Since being introduced by Portuguese traders from Brazil in the 16th century, maize and cassava have replaced traditional African crops as the continent’s most important staple food crops.[14] ..
The majority of production in 2002 was in Africa, where 99.1 million tonnes were grown; 51.5 million tonnes were grown in Asia; and 33.2 million tonnes in Latin America and the Caribbean. Nigeria is the world’s largest producer of cassava. However, based on the statistics from the FAO of the United Nations, Thailand is the largest exporting country of dried cassava, with a total of 77% of world export in 2005. The second largest exporting country is Vietnam, with 13.6%, followed by Indonesia (5.8%) and Costa Rica (2.1%).

Paphnuce, an ascetic hermit of the Egyptian desert, journeys to Alexandria to find Thais, the libertine beauty whom he knew as a youth. Masquerading as a dandy, he is able to speak with her about eternity; surprisingly he succeeds in converting her to Christianity. Yet on their return to the desert he becomes fascinated with her former life. She enters a convent to repent of her sins. He cannot forget the pull of her famous beauty, and becomes confused about the values of life. Later, …., he comes to her side and tells her that her faith is an illusion, and that he loves her.[3]

Thaïs takes place in Egypt during Byzantine rule, where a Cenobite monk, Athanaël, attempts to convert Thaïs, an Alexandrian courtesan and devotee of Venus, to Christianity, but discovers too late that his obsession with her is rooted in lust; while the courtesan’s true purity of heart is revealed, so is the religious man’s baser nature.

Thaïs (Greek: Θαΐς) was a famous Greek hetaera who lived during the time of Alexander the Great and accompanied him on his campaigns. She is most famous for instigating the burning of Persepolis. At the time, Thaïs was the lover of Ptolemy I Soter, one of Alexander’s generals. It has been suggested that she may also have been Alexander’s lover, on the basis of Athenaeus’s statement that Alexander liked to “keep Thais with him”, but this may simply mean he enjoyed her company. She is said to have been very witty and entertaining. Athenaeus also says that after Alexander’s death Ptolemy married Thaïs, who bore him three children.
Thaïs is first briefly described as a wealthy and beautiful courtesan living in the prestigious city of Alexandria, in the eyes of the church a public sinner. Eventually, however, she inquires about Christianity and then converts. In her Vita a monk in disguise pays for entry into her chambers in order to challenge her and convert her, yet he finds that she already believes in God, from whom nothing is hidden. The identity of this person who instructs and offers Thaïs the opportunity of spiritual transformation is unclear, three names being mentioned: St. Paphnutius (Egyptian Bishop in Upper Thebaïd),[7] St. Bessarion (disciple of St. Anthony in the Egyptian desert), and St. Serapion (Bishop in the Nile Delta).[8] Following her acceptance into the Church, she is shown a convent cell where she is provisioned for three years, during which time she performs penance for her sins

Talking Taino: Eat Roots and Leave
Winter 2004/2005
Story & Photos By Dr. Bill Keegan and Dr. Betsy Carlson
……….
Years later, the two authors were returning from a site visit in Haiti. Arriving at the main intersection in Dondon we encountered a woman with five, three-foot diameter cassava breads balanced on her head. We purchased one for a few Gourds (Haitian currency). It was one of the most delightful snacks we have ever eaten. It was warm and nutty tasting, and had the addictive quality of potato chips or popcorn.
The Spanish immediately recognized the usefulness of manioc. The cassava bread could be stored for long periods, and it came to replace hardtack as the staple for expeditions throughout the Americas. Some Taino villages were forced to pay tribute in cassava bread, and villages, especially in eastern Hispaniola, were responsible for provisioning Spanish ships. You might say that by providing cassava bread the Taino could ensure that the Spaniards would eat roots and leave.
