description In Central African rainforests, tubers (yams, cassava, Araceae) are staple food, together with plantains. This series of starchy food species results from histories, some very old, others more recent, after complex routes involving several continents.

Finally we show how these plants were integrated into the agricultural and food systems, and which utensils are used for their processing.
