Farinha de Mandioca
Farinha de Mandioca is a finely milled flour made from dried cassava (manioc) root, commonly used in West African, South American and Caribbean cooking and popular as a gluten‑free baking starch. It is primarily a carbohydrate ingredient, providing 80.4g per 100g and functioning much like other flours or starches in breads, flatbreads, thickeners and batters. Nutritionally, it is low in protein and fiber compared with whole‑grain flours but does provide notable potassium; it’s best used as part of a mixed recipe or combined with higher‑protein flours for more balanced meals. While useful for gluten‑free cooking, it is not a significant source of antioxidant phytonutrients or protein, so pair it with nutrient‑dense ingredients when possible.
