The Story Behind the Slice.

Our Journey to The Perfect Cassava Pizza

From an Ancient Latin American Root to the First Pizza with a One-Ingredient Crust – 100% Cassava (Yuca)

How It All Began

In the heart of the Amazon, Pancho Lara, co-founder of Yukan Foods, spent over a decade living among native Indians. Immersed in their culture, He learned the secrets of processing cassava, an ancient root known for its incredible health benefits. Cassava, or yuca, was not only a dietary staple but also a symbol of resilience and nutrition.

One day, when processing cassava, an idea
struck him. He envisioned cassava as the
perfect ingredient to create a healthy, gluten-free pizza crust. This crust would be not only nutritious but also delicious and crunchy.

Turning Dreams Into Delicious Reality

Eager to bring his vision to life, Pancho ventured to the United States and presented his idea to a group of experiencedfood professionals. Intrigued by the unique concept, they tasted the pizza made with a 100% cassava crust and were instantlyimpressed by its flavor and crunchiness.

The Yukan Magic

Yukan Foods was The Group added its professional experience to found Yukan with a bold mission: to use the magic of cassava to redefine the gluten-free experience. Then Yukan, introduced the first pizza with a one-ingredient crust made entirely of cassava, offering a guilt-free, crunchier, and more delicious option for customers seeking better dietary choices.
