Otto’s 100% Natural Cassava Flour
You’ve likely heard of yucca chips, but what about yucca flour? Also known as cassava, this starchy root is a unique grain- and gluten-free wheat flour swap because it’s also free from nuts, a common allergen. Made from the whole cassava root, Otto’s cassava flour is peeled, dried and ground into a fine powder perfect for replacing wheat flour in recipes that require wheat in a 1:1 ratio (unless you’re trying to make a yeast-based bread—you’ll need some recipe tweaks).
Pamela’s Grain and Gluten-Free Nut Flour Blend
Made with almond flour, organic coconut flour, pecan flour and walnut flour, there’s beauty in the simplicity of this brown-flecked blend. The gluten-free mavens at Pamela’s recently expanded their line to include a paleo-friendly option perfect for crafting better-for-you pizza crusts, fiber-boosted smoothies and even grain-free meatballs. This blend also boasts 4 grams protein per serving and zero sugar.
