Language:
Cassava bread is a round bread made from the cassava tuber. In Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Honduras and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, cassava bread varies in flavour (savoury or sweet), texture (soft or hard), size and thickness. In most countries, it is a key part of daily diets and provides a connection with the communities’ Indigenous and African heritage. It also promotes unity, as each community values its own cassava bread making while recognizing the practices of others.
