The Whole Animal was eaten unlike today... including the contents of the stomach and intestines...

"In the old days we used to eat the guts of the buffalo, making a contest of it, two fellows getting hold of a long piece of intestines from opposite ends, starting chewing toward the middle, seeing who can get there first; that’s eating. Those buffalo guts, full of half-fermented, half-digested grass and herbs, you didn’t need any pills and vitamins when you swallowed those."15

We have not done this in an age...

Another example of a native practice...

Manioc is first mashed by the teeth and spat into a bowl. Everyone spits the chewed manioc back into the same bowl.

Enzymes... likely among other things... allicin in garlic is released by crushing... perhaps that is at play here with the manioc as well.
