I didn’t know until a couple of years ago that I have been eating some gluten-free foods since I was a little girl and way before this “new wave” of allergies from gluten or the benefits of gluten free food. I am talking about cassava, yuca or mandioca . It’s a root that you CAN’T eat raw, but you can eat boiled, fried, baked and you can use as a starch for cooking. Every time I make broiled mandioca it’s a huge success with my American friends. Everybody loves it!! I make this very traditional Brazilian cake that is so delicious and moist! It is gluten free and very easy to make. Usually, you can find mandioca in Latin stores and even in big grocery stores. I checked all of these ingredients to make sure it’s gluten free, however, we are not specialists… So make sure to ask you doctor before you eat it…. This recipe came from my grandma of course!! —BrazilianFlairintheUSA
