What it is
Cassava flour is a gluten-free flour made from the whole cassava root. The root is peeled, dried, and ground into a fine powder. It is a staple food in many tropical regions, particularly Africa, Asia, and South America.
Why it's used
Cassava flour is used as a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour in baking and cooking. It can act as a thickener in sauces and gravies and is also used in products like bread, cookies, and cakes. Its neutral flavor makes it versatile in various recipes.
Health notes
Cassava flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a good source of carbohydrates and provides some dietary fiber. JECFA has evaluated cassava and its derivatives. Like other starchy flours, it can impact blood sugar levels, so moderation is advised for individuals managing diabetes.
Allergen info
Cassava flour is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is naturally gluten-free.
