What so special about Beiju flatbread?

Beiju is an ancient Amazonian recipe for a bread made from tapioca. Tapioca comes from the cassava root (photo below). The flour is made in the traditional Amazonian way (but using modern hygienic machinery!) in Beijummy’s shop 50 yards up the road in Roscoe Street.

When you order a wrap, it is created from the flour on a hot plate in front of you. It is made without oil – just the heat of the hot plate. The only additive is water (and love, they say). The way they stretch it gives it a wonderful chewy texture. There is nothing like freshly cooked bread!

One of its health benefits is that it is easily digestible carbohydrate as well as being gluten-free.

The people behind the stall

The owners of the business are Gustavo, who runs the Beijummy stall, and Socrates who has another stall in the market selling mainly kebabs. Gustavo is Brazilian. His family moved from Italy to Brazil.
