Cuba Pushes for Yuca-Based Casabe to be Recognized as UNESCO Heritage.

Casabe, a flatbread made of yuca root, is making a comeback in Cuba as a gluten-free alternative to bread. It is one of Cuba's oldest Indigenous meals and is being promoted by restaurants and officials seeking its addition to UNESCO's prized intangible cultural heritage list. Casabe was a key part of the diet of Indigenous peoples in the Caribbean and was also among the first native products embraced by the Spaniards upon their arrival. Casabe enthusiasts hope it will be widely embraced as a healthy, sustainable meal that preserves an Indigenous tradition.
