Casabe Bread

Garífuna Yucca Bread

Casabe Bread is a flat bread, as hard and thin as a cracker, made from Cassava flour.

The flour comes from the bitter (not the sweet) type of cassava roots.

To make Casabe Bread, the cassava is grated, all the toxic juice squeezed out, then dried into a flour, and sifted.

The flour is spread over a hot griddle to form a large round circle, then flattened and lightly pressed together with a tool that looks like a trowel. It's flipped to cook the other side, then removed from the griddle, and cut into smaller pieces

You can buy it already made in stores.
