Casabe

Casabe is a traditional thin, crisp flatbread made from grated and dehydrated cassava (yuca), popular across the Caribbean and parts of South America as a gluten-free bread or cracker alternative. It is typically used as a vehicle for toppings, with a long history as a portable staple food. Nutritionally, Casabe is mainly a carbohydrate source and is relatively low in protein and fat; it provides about 299kcal per 100 g and modest amounts of fiber and B‑vitamins derived from cassava. It also supplies trace minerals such as manganese and copper. Because it is essentially a dehydrated cassava product, it’s a useful gluten-free option but not a significant source of protein or micronutrients, so pairing it with protein-rich toppings or vegetables will make for a more balanced snack or meal.
