Casabe de Yuca Ecuatoriano
Also known as: Ecuadorian Amazon Casabe
Siekopai cassava flatbread documented in Waiya, Ecuador.

About Casabe de Yuca Ecuatoriano
Santiago Rosero documents Erodia Piaguaje’s family casabe in Waiya, Sucumbíos. This Siekopai bread centres on cassava, with recovered starch used for the preserved version.
The root supplies its restrained flavour. The report names chicken soup as one serving partner, alongside other household choices.
The bread is circular and pale. Its starch-coated, sun-dried form becomes rigid; family members soften it in their accompanying soup.
