Bob's Red Mill 25 lb. Cassava Flour

Product Details

From the tropical forests of South America comes the answer to all of your gluten-free baking needs! This Bob's Red Mill cassava flour is an excellent option for replacing wheat flours when preparing menu items for customers who follow gluten-free, paleo, grain-free, and Whole30 diets. Cassava flour is made from the whole root of the cassava plant. This tuber, native to South America, is peeled (to remove its poisonous outer layer), dried, and ground into a flour with a neutral flavor and powdery texture perfect for replicating the effects of wheat flour. Cassava is eaten as a staple food in South America and parts of Asia and Africa; this hearty food is high in carbohydrates and calorie dense, making it a reliable food source for millions of people. It's also high in fiber and full of nutrients like calcium and iron, making it a healthy and filling ingredient!

Cassava flour's "gummy" qualities make it an excellent substitute for wheat flour in many bread recipes, where it mimics the binding properties of gluten to create baked goods with excellent texture and elasticity. Unlike many other gluten-free flours, cassava flour is neither grainy nor gritty, which makes it easy to replicate the texture of traditional breads. While it's not a 1:1 substitute for traditional wheat flour, cassava flour makes a great addition to your mix of gluten-free flours! Try using it to create delicious flatbreads, pizza crusts, tortillas, and traditional Indian naan. Creating grain-free versions of these classics will be a great way to offer delicious menu items to your customers who can't eat gluten, or who are following a paleo diet.

This cassava flour is also great for creating delicious cookies, muffins, pie crusts, and other sweet treats perfect for satisfying any sweet tooth! You can even whip up a batch of cassava pancakes or waffles to offer breakfast favorites to your diet-restricted customers. No matter how you choose to use it, this cassava flour is sure to quickly become a favorite in your busy kitchen. This bulk 25 lb. bag will keep your establishment well-stocked for all of your culinary needs!
