In Brazil there are “flour houses” and farinheiros that produce a vast range of flours, which vary by root used and processing technique.
Manioca, one of the main crops of indigenous peoples, is used to make all sorts of dishes. It can be slow-cooked, toasted or fried, and can accompany any type of food. Its flour is an ingredient in breads, couscous, crisp crêpes, biscuits and more besides.
