Cassava Lafun Flour
This is Pure cassava flour, not Fermented Fufu flour. Produced from the root tuber called cassava, which is grown across West Africa. The cassavas are peeled, washed, cut into pieces, and washed in spring water before sun drying. This results in sun-ripened, nutrient rich cassava that is milled into this fine flour.
