Although cassava flour has only become commercially available in North America within the last 10 years, cassava (also known as tapioca, manioc and yuca) has been widely used across Africa and South America in traditional dishes for centuries.

Ciranda's organic cassava flour is produced in Brazil from cassava roots which have been peeled, grated, pressed, dried and milled to the desired fineness. Choose from all purpose, extra fine, and fine varieties where a higher number indicates a finer mesh/grind. Each flour has unique properties. 

AP60 (All-Purpose) - Some water binding; best for softer and lighter doughs; try it for tortillas, soft cookies and most other bakery or snack applications 

EF50 (Extra Fine) - Very high water binding capacity; creates cornbread type structure in bakery; softer fiber; well-suited for crisp cookies, crackers, chips, extrusions, breadings, prepared or frozen meals
