The Story Behind It

The Tale of Solomon Islands Cassava Pudding

Story updated September 17, 2026

Cassava, a root crop originally introduced from South America, has become a widespread staple across the Solomon Islands. Grated and sweetened with coconut cream before baking, cassava pudding turns that adopted crop into a distinctly Pacific Island dessert found in many island households.
