About Manioc flour

Manioc flour is a milled product made from cassava (manioc) roots. The name can cover different styles of flour, so it should not automatically be treated as tapioca starch, which is a separated starch rather than whole-root flour.

Depending on the style, it may be fine and powdery or coarser and toasted, with a mild, starchy flavour. It is used in cooking and baking, and some forms are added to foods for body or thickening. Processing and particle size affect how it behaves in recipes.
