Here at the mill, we're very excited to introduce our latest gluten free, grain free baking flour: cassava flour! Created from the whole root of the cassava plant, cassava flour can be used to make tortillas, different bread types, brownies, and all kinds of gluten free baked goods, but it's also wonderful as a thickening agent for sauces or to bread meat and other proteins. You can even use it as an alternative to breadcrumbs in veggie burgers or meatballs! Its mild flavor and fine texture has been compared to wheat flour, but keep in mind it is a gluten free flour (unlike all-purpose flour) and not a one-to-one substitution like our Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour.
Quick Facts About Cassava Flour
Cassava flour has been skyrocketing in popularity, especially for making gluten free products! People love that our cassava flour is:
- Gluten Free
- Grain Free
- Nut Free
- Paleo and Whole30 Friendly
- Non-GMO Project Verified
Tapioca flour is also made from cassava, with a key difference: to produce this flour, the whole cassava root is used, so it retains the fiber and provides a healthy source of carbohydrates. To produce tapioca flour starch, only the starch part is extracted and used.
Cassava Flour Recipes
Interested in baking with cassava flour? Bob's Red Mill Food Innovation Chef Sarah House has created a couple of recipes to get you started.
These Cassava Brownies are so rich and chocolatey, you'll want to enjoy them again and again! Dark chocolate chunks, maple syrup, coconut oil and cassava flour combine to make incredible paleo brownies that are moist and fudgy.
Cassava Flatbread is endlessly versatile! Pile on ingredients like grilled meats, veggies and your favorite sauces, use them as a base for wraps or paleo pizza, or enjoy them with herbs and a little salt. Let the dough sit for 10 minutes, then roll out and heat in a hot skillet.
