What is Manioc Flour?
Manioc flour is a flour made from the tuberous root of the Manihot esculenta plant, which is native to Central and Southern America. This woody shrub is more commonly known as manioc, cassava, or yucca, and in addition to being the source of manioc flour, it is also used to produce tapioca and it is used whole in recipes in which it may be fried, steamed, or stewed. Manioc flour has been used by Native Americans for centuries, and many Latin American cultures call for it in traditional recipes.
