Did you know?
Sour cassava starch (polvilho azedo) is an excellent option for those with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease. It is naturally gluten-free and a safe pantry staple. Because it is fermented during production, it is often easier to digest than many other flours, as the process partially breaks down the carbohydrates.
