The indigenous people in Jamaica were Tainos, NOT Arawak. The Arawaks were a mainland tribe.

There are two types of cassava grown in Jamaica, sweet cassava and bitter cassava. The sweet variety is eaten as a root vegetable. The bitter variety cannot be eaten as is, must be treated to remove armful compounds. The starch from the bitter variety is extracted as a cottage industry. The residue after the starch is extracted is used in the making of bammy.
