About Gofio

Gofio is a toasted-grain flour associated with the Canary Islands. It is commonly made from maize or wheat, though the grain and blend vary by product. The grain is toasted before milling, giving the flour a tan to brown colour and a roasted aroma.

The flour is fine to somewhat coarse and has a toasted, nutty flavour. It may be sold as a single-grain or mixed-grain product, so the name does not establish a uniform grain composition. Gofio is a processed flour, distinct from un-toasted maize or wheat flour.
