Cassava is gluten, grain and nut-free, as well as vegan, vegetarian and paleo. Per 100 grams, cassava has double the calories and carbohydrates as sweet potato. Unlike other gluten-free flours such as almond or coconut flour, cassava flour is very mild and neutral in flavor. These qualities, along with the fact that it can be replaced on a 1:1 basis with wheat flour in many recipes, make cassava flour a preferred flour for gluten-free, grain-free baking and cooking. It’s also a great nut-free flour. Cassava is an excellent source of essential minerals including calcium, manganese, iron, phosphorus, and potassium. These are all important minerals for growth and development as well as contributing to proper bodily function.
