Casabe is bread made from cassava. The food has a flat shape and crispy feel. The consumption and use of cassava bread has existed for many years, precisely more than half a millennium. After all these years, the diet is still well known and appreciated among the Dominican people. A merit of the dish is that it does not easily get moldy or stale.

The scale of food production was going down for some time until a couple of decades ago. The making of the products was boosted by the coming up of innovative producers. These enterprising merchants invented a labor intensive technology that utilized machinery to produce Casabe. As a result, the bread could now be produced in large scale.

Today, the crispy bread is produced in a relatively higher volume for use by Dominicans. A lot of these products are likely to be found in supermarkets around the country. The food is also sold to overseas markets especially the United states, where many people have appreciated it and consume a great deal of it.

The food is not different from the conventional bread. For example, it can be eaten at different times and in a number of ways. In most cases, the food is taken for breakfast during which time it is served with coffee. The product can also provide an effective company to soups. The bread can further be soaked in water then served with fried eggs or avocado.

Casabe can also be accompanied with a mug of chocolate to make a delicious, light supper. The food is prepared by first peeling the cassava. It is then washed and ground after which it is compressed, sieved and finally shaped into circular molds, and the baking is done on a hot plate.

A significant advantage of the food is that its production has employed a great many people especially women in the rural areas. As a result, the industry has contributed to the prevention of people thronging the cities or traveling overseas to look for jobs. The product has an advantage of being preservative free with a self life of up to eight months. The cassava bread is both ideal for domestic and international markets.

The health significance of Casabe should not at any moment be underestimated. The food is fat-free and rich in fiber. The biggest trauma facing its manufacture, distribution and consumption, is its unpopularity. It is not vehemently known to many people across the globe. People who tend to have an idea of what it is also consider it as a humble dish. The versatility and health merits of the food should be used as strong marketing points.
