Love it as is with peanut butter. If you like spicy food, you can add some pickled pepper juice with the peanut butter and top it off with a sprig of watercress on top.

High in fiber and no gluten. Great diet food.

Hi, tee. Because cassava bread is quite bland, it it generally used as an accompaniment to rich dishes. My Dominican friends at work told me that they use cassava bread with stews and chilis. Just break it up and throw it in a bowl of your favorite chili. Certain Caribbean countries spread butter and jam on it, or (if you can manage to do it without breaking the bread) spread peanut butter on it.

Since you have Celiac disease, you should look for my gluten-free recipes, which I post here sometimes. If you like scones, come check out my Wheat-Free Current Scones recipe here: http://www.mizchef.com/2011/08/wheat-free-baking/

Thanks for commenting. Let me know what you think of the cassava bread.

Hey mizchef,
I just ran across this article almost a year to the day you have posted and I just ran across this product in a Latin Market/ Fruit store quite accidentally.

It is mostly a produce store, embellished with cans of spanish products and I also found this bread in the produce aisle.

The name cassava (actually casabe it is the same exact brand as the pic above) caught my eye as I love bubble tea and I am celiac and quite used to seeing this ingredient in my gluten free bread loaves. This was a stretch but it appeared to have no dangerous for me ingredients so I bought it…but now I am in a quandary how to eat this. Is it used as is for stews and gravies? Is it warmed? Does it soften or is it what it is and nothing more

Thank you!!!!
