Description

High Quality Cassava Flour (HQCF) is an exciting new baking ingredient that is gluten-free, extremely versatile, and sustainably produced. It offers a nutritious alternative to wheat flour with lower energy and water use in processing. Cassava (Manihot esculenta), also known as yuca, manioc, or tapioca, is a starchy root vegetable native to South America that has been cultivated for thousands of years by indigenous peoples and was introduced to Africa and Asia in the 16th century by Portuguese traders. Today, cassava is a crucial food source in tropical regions, especially in Africa, where Nigeria is the world’s largest producer.
