Casabe is a traditional flatbread made from cassava root, originating from Indigenous cultures in the Caribbean, Central America, and northern South America. This thin, crispy bread is naturally gluten-free and produced by grating the cassava, extracting its starchy pulp, and baking it until dry. Casabe is low in fat and contains moderate amounts of carbohydrates, making it a good source of quick energy. It’s also high in dietary fiber, which supports healthy digestion. While it lacks significant protein, vitamins, and minerals, its simplicity allows it to pair well with nutrient-rich dips, toppings, or meals. Traditionally, casabe served as a staple food due to its long shelf life and versatility in many dishes, from soups to snacks. As part of a balanced diet, casabe can be enjoyed as a wholesome alternative to processed breads, especially for those with gluten sensitivities.
