cassava bread

Tropical root bread

Cassava bread is a flatbread made from cassava root, a starchy tuber native to South America.

The root is grated, pressed to remove toxic juices, and the resulting flour is formed into thin, round cakes and baked or griddled.

It's a staple food throughout the Caribbean and parts of Latin America, with a slightly chewy texture and mild flavor.
