Iya Foods Cassava Flour - all purpose flour, Grain-Free, Non-GMO & Kosher verified - Multi purpose wheat flour substitute; Made From 100% Yuca Root - Zero Additives & Preservatives - 5lb Pack

This is my favorite brand, seller, and deal out there for those of you who are grain free due to the glutens in all the grains. I went through 2 pounds of arrowroot starch too quickly (8 days) and if it were available at 5 pounds it would cost approximately $4-$5 more than this and both starches are identical for making naan and tortillas, etc. It makes the best tortillas and if you want to make naan or roti this accompanies the cassava flour to make that amazing. I like to eat 'bread' with every dinner meal and this is the best deal I've found!

I used Iya Cassava Flour to make pizza dough from scratch. The pizza turned out great. The last picture shows the crust from the bottom with that piece of pizza flipped over. Crust is firm, still a little fluffy and not crumbly at all. It browned up nicely on top. I pressed in about a 1/3 cup of sesame seeds on the bare crust before adding the sauce and toppings. I made quick homemade sauce with 2 tablespoons dry basil, one tomato peeled and deseeded, half cup of bottled minced garlic, all pureed in my small coffee bean grinder, and then mixed that into a half stick of melted butter in a small bowl and then spread that sauce on top of those sesame seeds edge to edge on the crust to spread that flavor to every inch of crust, then sprinkle on Romano cheese layer on that sauce. Add other toppings on that.My recipe on that crust is 1 1/4 cups warm water, one pack of yeast, and one tablespoon honey, and let that rise/proof for 30 mins. Mix Dry ingredients separately, 1 cup almond flour, 2 cups arrowroot powder/flour, 2 cups + of Iya Cassava Flour, 1 1/2 Teaspoons Himalayan pink salt, 3 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil and three eggs. After the yeast proofs and the dry ingredients are all mixed then mix both together and add small amounts of Iya Cassava Flour to make the dough the right consistency. Then Let the dough rise for 90 mins in a warm spot. I leave it in a covered bowl covered in olive oil while rising. Makes enough dough for two crusts. Cook at 500 degrees for 10 to 12 mins.The Iya Cassava Flour was easy to use and tastes great. I would highly recommend it. The price on it is great too. Great deal on this 5 pound size bag.

I still reviewing this as 5 stars because it tastes great and bakes up well. They are also honest on the packaging and it’s my fault for not reading. I have a ton of mild allergies. Mild meaning I will get digestive upset and my lungs will fill with mucus like I have a cold…. But nothing “dangerous” that sends me to the hospital. If I eat too much, I get sores in my mouth and ulcers. I am allergic to all grains, nuts, and soy among many other things. The packaging says in small print that this flour is manufactured in the same facility as soy and nuts. My first bag gave me no issues. I baked a ton of things with it. Got my second bag yesterday and made homemade hot pockets. They tasted wonderful but I started coughing up phlegm within an hour or two as I would do with an allergen. I couldn’t figure out what was causing it. This morning I was feeling better and decided to make pancakes with it. Big mistake. My mouth started burning even though they were cooked and I got sores all through my mouth and started running for the toilet. Checked the bag again to see if I missed an ingredient. Nope. But then I saw the fine print at the bottom.So, long story short, if you have nut or soy allergies these bags may be hit or miss. Some might be fine and not cause a reaction and some can be full of contaminates.

There was nothing to complain about. Quality and quantity were as expected. Good for making my own gluten free flour mix.

UPDATE on previous review:Iya Foods reached out to me and offered me a full refund for the 2 bags of cassava flour that had the chemical smell and taste. I'm changing my rating, because they did reach out and were willing to make it right. I very much appreciated that.This cassava flour is excellent flour, normally, and and I've tried several different brands. So, it may be that there was just a bad batch of it and I got 2 bags out of that batch.I will purchase the flour from Iya Foods again because they do stand behind their product.ORIGINAL Review:I've been buying this exact cassava flour from IYA for a few years and it's always been wonderful, and has worked perfectly in the tortillas and pancakes that I make.I bought 2 packages of it this time, and when I opened them, both of them had a chemical smell to them. I thought that maybe the tortillas would still cook up fine, but they tasted like some type of chemical too, and were not edible.I sent an email to IYA asking them to re-test the batch that the flour was from, but I didn't get a response.I'm sad to say that I'm going to have to look elsewhere for cassava flour.

Good product, good price, good size.

I would not recommend this flour, the taste is good but when you chew your waffle or whatever you make with it, you feel like you are chewing tiny bits of cristal, and the product is not elegible for return.

This flour is very important to me as I am allergic to gluten. Buying the 50 lb bag is a huge savings over the other big name cassava flour I used to buy. This flour is every bit as high quality as the flour I paid approx $7.00 a pound for in five pound bags. I depend on this product!
