So I am always experimenting with different, healthier versions of flour for baking. I came upon this Cassava flour which is made of Cassava or also known as Yuca root. I read some interesting facts about yuca root so I really wanted to try it. Before I tell you more... here are a few topics of the benefits:
Digestive Efficiency
Promotes Weight Loss
Diabetes Control
Improves Heart Health
Boosts Immunity
Wound Healing and Growth
Ease Arthritic Pain
Improves Cognition
Skin and Eye Health
Skin Protection
Due to my husband's surgery I wanted to give him foods that could promote wound healing and growth! So my first attempt was making chocolate chip cookies. I would post the recipe but I haven't quite perfected it yet. I found that yuca root flour or Cassava Flour is a flour that is what I call liquid starved or dry! I will figure this out though! The cookies had a nice taste and yes my husband ate them all. His comments were that although dry (they crumbled easily) he liked the nutty taste. He said kind of like pistachio taste. I thought it was more like cashew tasting. He liked the added flavor. I will post later once I figure this out. I also want to see how it does with fried chicken! If you have any recipes I should try with this, please post them in comments! I did find their webpage on Facebook...check them out Otto's Naturals - Cassava Flour. I know I am anxious to try more recipes! Oh and some people ask where I got this...I did mine through thrive market, but I saw Amazon has it as well.
