Jamaican Pride Cassava Frozen Bammy 400 G X 24

Cassava Bammy is a traditional, gluten-free Jamaican flatbread made from grated cassava root, a staple food of the indigenous Taino people, known for its chewy texture and versatility as a side dish, often served with fried fish after being soaked and fried to achieve a crispy exterior. The process involves squeezing liquid from grated cassava, forming it into flat cakes, and then cooking it in coconut milk before a final fry for a golden finish, offering a unique texture.
