gluten-free flapjacks

Why use cassava flour?

On the hunt for a naturally gluten-free flour that is nut-free (Hey, allergen sufferers!), grain-free (Hey, Crohnies!) and actually easy to use as a substitute in wheat-flour recipes? Meet cassava flour. Made from the root of the same name (sometimes also known as manioc), Health Riot Cassava Flour is now available countrywide from online stores such as WellnessWarehouse.com and Faithful-To-Nature.co.za. A more well-known flour extract from the same root is tapioca. The difference between the two is that tapioca is essentially a pure starch extraction, while cassava flour contains protein, high amounts of calcium and is a good source of fibre. It is an ideal gluten-free baking substitute as it maintains great texture and crusting (Hi, perfect pastry!), so you can make Ouma’s short-crust pastry recipe gluten-free without any hassle.
