Cassava flour is a gluten-free, grain-free flour made from the dried and ground root of the cassava plant, native to South America and widely used in African, Asian, and Latin American cuisines. Naturally pale and starchy, it has a mild flavor and is prized for its versatility in baking, cooking, and thickening sauces. Unlike tapioca flour, which is a refined extract of cassava, cassava flour retains the plant’s fiber. It's a good option for those with food sensitivities, as it’s free from gluten, nuts, and grains. Rich in carbohydrates, it provides quick energy but lacks significant protein or fat. Cassava flour is minimally processed and can support digestive health when consumed in moderation. However, raw cassava contains toxins, so proper preparation ensures safety. Its pleasing texture and neutral taste make it a popular alternative in paleo, vegan, and gluten-free diets.
