About Casabi

Casabi is a food company rooted in the traditions of the Dominican Republic, specializing in the production and distribution of gourmet cassava flatbread, known locally as casabe. The business was established over fifteen years ago in Monción, a region in the northern part of the Dominican Republic renowned for its deep-rooted history in cassava cultivation, tracing back to the indigenous Taíno people. The founders were inspired by this local heritage to innovate upon the ancient flatbread, creating the brand CASABI, which translates to "cassava bread," with a mission to honor and preserve the traditional methods of its creation.

The company's core product is a crispy, thin, gluten-free flatbread made from bitter cassava root, a 100% natural product rich in carbohydrates and fiber. Casabi's business model is centered on taking a historical staple of Caribbean gastronomy and positioning it for a modern, health-conscious consumer. Production remains in Monción, which is considered the heartland of casabe, ensuring authenticity. The process is based on ancient techniques where the harvested yucca is grated, detoxified by squeezing out poisonous juices, dried into a flour, and then baked. Casabi markets its flatbread as a versatile healthy snack that can be paired with both sweet and savory toppings, such as hummus or guacamole. Revenue is generated through the sale of these packaged food products to consumers who value natural, gluten-free, and traditional foods.
