Trying to remember a source about treating an American crop to remove iodine (or potassium or something)

Post Body
I am pretty sure I read on slatestarcodex about a South American crop that requited special complex treatment before eating to remove some chemical that would otherwise cause long-term poisoning, and somehow indigenous American cultures had that knowledge and the motivation to do said treatment. When the crop was transferred to Africa, obviously that knowledge and motivation wasn't, but also apparently at least one African farming group has recreated it.
Does anyone recall this, and the source?
