Cassava Fufu Flour

Our cassava fufu flour is produced from an organic root tuber called cassava, which is grown across West Africa. The cassavas are peeled, washed, cut into pieces, and then left to soak in spring water for a day before sun drying. This results in sun-ripened, nutrient rich cassava that is milled into this fine flour.
