Only Option for Our Family
I initially heard of Cassava Flour because of The Plant Paradox diet, when I was trying to eat a lower lectin diet. We use this flour for everything, because we have allergies in our home to nuts, sesame, peas, and other ingredients that are found in many competitors products.
We make tortillas, bread, pizza crusts, pancakes and waffles regularly. It is not exactly like wheat flour, but there are so many good recipes on this website and on Pinterest.
We have had very few baking fails, and we live at an elevation of 6000+ feet above sea level. I usually adjust for more moisture in my recipes, basing it on consistency of the dough.
I had house guests who had been gluten free for years, and when I made them banana pancakes for breakfast they thought they were regular flour because they were so fluffy and light.
I recommend this to my gluten free friends, and anyone looking to eat a lower lectin diet.
