About cassava flour[]
Cassava flour is an innovative substitute for the wheat flour. It enables the production of gluten-free baked goods with virtually the same taste, texture, crumb and baking characteristics as those made with wheat flour.
Ground into a coarse textured substance, the manioc flour provides a somewhat acidic and nutty flavor as an ingredient for baked goods. This flour may also be referred to as "farinha de mandioca."
