Cassava Flour

Cultural Context

Cassava flour is a staple in many Nigerian households, derived from the cassava root, which is native to South America but has become a vital crop in Africa. It is used in various traditional dishes, such as fufu and garri, and serves as a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour. As dietary preferences shift globally, cassava flour is gaining popularity among those seeking gluten-free options and is now found in many international cuisines.
