Master Product Specification
Dominican Casabe (Cassava Bread)
Casabe is a thin, round, crisp flatbread crafted purely from peeled and grated cassava (yuca) root. After mechanical pressing to extract the root's natural starch juices, the dry flour is spread onto a broad iron griddle (burén) and baked over gentle heat.
Pure Single-Ingredient Root: 100% cassava root with no grain fillers, starches, or artificial binders.
Gluten Status: Verified lab tested below 20 ppm gluten for reliable allergen compliance.
Ancestral Heritage: Inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in December 2024.
