Cassava Flour

Cassava flour comes from a tuber and is commonly used in cuisines of South America, Asia, and Africa. It's grain-free, but it actually resembles glutenous flour more than many gluten-free grain flours thanks to its starchy, sticky quality and mild taste. Cassava flour is also prebiotic, meaning it makes a happy environment for good gut bacteria to flourish. What's not to love?

With it, I've made all sorts of goodies to satisfy my sweet tooth: paleo chocolate chip cookies, tahini zucchini bread, chocolate fig tart, grain-free fruit cobbler, paleo vegan banana bread, cassava flour pie crust, and more!
