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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrganic, single ingredient, in 500 g and a 1.5 kg bulk bag.

The 1.5 kg is for people who bake regularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRootalive Organic Cassava Flour Features and Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% Organic Whole Cassava Root\u003c\/strong\u003e — Single ingredient, whole root rather than extracted starch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNot Tapioca Starch\u003c\/strong\u003e — Whole root keeps the fibre, which is what gives it flour-like behaviour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrain Free and Gluten Free\u003c\/strong\u003e — Suitable for coeliac, gluten-free and grain-free eating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut Free\u003c\/strong\u003e — Unusual among gluten-free flours, most of which are nut-based.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaleo Compatible\u003c\/strong\u003e — Fits paleo and AIP protocols where grain flours are excluded.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClose to One-for-One with Wheat\u003c\/strong\u003e — The nearest gluten-free flour to a direct wheat substitute.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo Sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — 500 g and a 1.5 kg bulk bag for regular bakers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-section\" id=\"faq-rootalive-organic-cassava-flour\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003e➕ What is Rootalive Organic Cassava Flour?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left:25px; margin-top:5px; padding-bottom:10px;\"\u003eA single-ingredient flour of 100% organic whole cassava root.
