Cassava flour is a type of flour made from the root of the cassava plant, also known as yuca or manioc. Cassava is a staple food in many countries, particularly in Africa, South America, and Asia.
To make cassava flour, the cassava roots are peeled, washed, grated, and then dried and ground into a fine powder. Cassava flour is gluten-free, grain-free, and nut-free, making it a great alternative for people with dietary restrictions.
