We originally received this variety from Cody Cove Farm and here is what they have to say about it:

"Togo is a great cassava variety from West Africa.  For a number of years this has been our standby cultivar due to the high quality of the roots and early production.  This variety produces dense, starchy roots with a very nice flavor and pleasant texture.  Core fiber is minimal.  Unlike some cultivars, even under stressful conditions the roots never become bitter.  Friends from cassava eating cultures have commented on the good eating quality of this variety.  Lack of bitterness indicates this is a “sweet” variety low in HCN (cyanide).  Under our conditions Togo has been a consistent producer provided it is grown with good amendments and occasional water during droughts.  Typically need only 9 months to harvest"
