Cassava flour is gluten-free, grain-free and nut-free. These properties make it a great choice for people with a selective diet or with food allergies and sensitivities. Cassava flour is useful for healthy bread, pastries, pancakes, cookies, pasta, etc.
 
Here are 7 reasons why cassava flour should be used in gluten-free baking or pasta making.
Cassava flour can be used as the main ingredient in any baking or pasta recipes.
Among gluten-free flour, cassava flour is the most similar to wheat flour. It can, therefore, be replaced 1:1 in wheat flour based recipes.
In addition to being gluten-free, cassava flour also is grain-free, nut-free and it fits in vegetarian, vegan and paleo-diets.
Unlike other gluten-free flours such as almond, rice or coconut flour, cassava flour is very mild and neutral in flavor and taste.
While many other gluten-free flours need a lot of other ingredients to achieve a good consistency, cassava flour can be used by itself.
Cassava flour gives a super-soft result, which is often hard to come by with other gluten-free flours that are usually nut-based and often grainy.
Cassava flour is a whole food that retains all of its fiber.
