In nature
Cyanides can be produced by certain bacteria, fungi, and algae, and are found in a number of foods and plants. In plants, cyanides are usually bound to sugar molecules in the form of cyanogenic glycosides and serve the plant as defense against herbivores. Cassava roots (aka manioc), an important potato-like food grown in tropical countries, contain cyanogenic glycosides and must be processed prior to consumption (usually by extended boiling). Fruits that have a pit, such as cherries and apricots, often contain either cyanides or cyanogenic glycosides in the pit. Apple seeds do as well. Bitter almonds, from which almond oil and flavouring is made, also contain a cyanogenic glycoside, amygdalin.what do i need to tile a concrete floor?
