How to Use MP Cassava Flour

Traditional Fufu (Swallow)

Bring water to a boil in a pot. Gradually whisk in MP Cassava Flour 910g, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Cook on medium heat for 5–8 minutes, folding and turning until the dough is smooth, stretchy, and pulls away from the sides of the pot. Serve immediately with your favourite soup — egusi, okra, or pepper soup.

Gluten-Free Baking

Use MP Cassava Flour as a direct 1:1 substitute for plain wheat flour in cakes, muffins, flatbreads, and pancakes. Its fine texture produces a light, tender crumb. For best results in yeast-based breads, combine with a binding agent such as psyllium husk or xanthan gum.

Thickening Soups & Stews

Mix 1–2 tablespoons of cassava flour with a small amount of cold water to form a slurry, then stir into your simmering soup or stew. It thickens quickly without altering the flavour — ideal for egusi soup, pepper soup, or any West African stew.

Flatbreads & Wraps

Combine cassava flour with water and a pinch of salt to form a pliable dough. Roll thin and cook on a dry hot skillet for 1–2 minutes per side. Use as a gluten-free wrap or serve alongside grilled meats and vegetables.
