Our story
Monción—the land of "Panyuca"
We produce our cassava flatbread in Monción, in the north of the Dominican Republic, as it is there were, ever since the indigenous people, the bitter cassava root is grown, being the raw material of cassava flatbread. One day more than 15 years ago, without foreseeing it, we decided to embrace a litte town's inspiration and to never forget our roots, thus adventuring into evolving the Cassava flatbread by creating our brand CASABI, which means cassava bread. Highly motivated to preserve and respect the ancient tradition of growing cassava and making casabe in Monción. We believed in innovating the cassava flatbread.
Cassava Tradition
Cassava flatbread is our country's history and culture and has a firm presence in caribbean gastronomy. The cultural links present in the cassava families that have inherited the cassava tradition from their forefathers, descendants of the first people inhabiting the Monción region, which is practically the cassava flatbread capital.

The cassava or mandioca is an american species, that has extended throughout the american tropics, from Brazil and Mexico to the Dominican Republic.
It's a shrub with three branches, green lobed leaves, stems with pronounced nodes of variable size, that can reach three meters in height.

The cassava is a woody shrub of variable size, that can reach 3m in height. The cultivars can be grouped by their height: short ones (up to 1,50 m), intermediate ones (1,50-2,50 m) and tall ones (more than 2,50m).

We preferably use fresh, fertile, well-drained soil, topsoil no less than 15cm and 4-7,5 pH. We distribute 20-25 cm long stems by pegs (7-9 buds). We plant between November and January putting the pegs horizontally inclined in the grooves.
