Rootalive Organic Cassava Flour, Grain-Free Gluten-Free Whole Root Flour for Baking, 500g to 1.5kg

Rootalive Organic Cassava Flour Details

Cassava flour is the closest thing gluten-free baking has to a one-for-one wheat substitute. It is the whole cassava root, peeled, dried and milled — not tapioca starch, which is only the extracted starch and behaves completely differently. Whole root means the fibre stays in, and that is what gives cassava flour a texture and absorbency much closer to wheat than any starch can manage.

That distinction is the single most useful thing to know about it, because the two are constantly confused and produce very different results. Tapioca starch is a thickener. Cassava flour is a flour.

It is grain free, gluten free, nut free and naturally paleo-compatible, which is a rare combination — most gluten-free flours are nut-based and rule out anyone with a nut allergy. It works in tortillas, flatbreads, cookies, pancakes and as a thickener, and it substitutes for wheat flour close to one-for-one in many recipes.

Who Rootalive Organic Cassava Flour Is For

This is for gluten-free and grain-free bakers, particularly anyone also avoiding nuts, and for people following paleo or AIP protocols where almond and coconut flours are excluded or overused. The 1.5 kg is for people who bake regularly.

It is not a zero-carb flour — cassava is a starchy root and the flour reflects that, so it is not suited to ketogenic baking. It also absorbs more liquid than wheat, so recipes usually need adjusting even where the substitution is close to one-for-one. Start with a tested cassava recipe rather than converting a wheat one on the first attempt.
