Impact - Organic Cassava Flour - Gluten-Free Baking Flour - 2 lb | Grain-Free, Wheat Flour Alternative, Contains 2g Dietary Fiber Per Serving, Ideal For Cooking And Baking

I have been GF for 18 years- started exclusively using Cassava Flour 6 years ago, it’s the only flour I use now. I purchased this brand due to the brand I was using inflating their prices by double. There has been No transition period, it is exactly as expected, no difference whatsoever in color, texture, results or quality!! I read other reviews prior to ordering and was concerned that it wasn’t going to meet my expectations but clearly those who wrote “off” reviews do not have understanding of Cassava and how to properly use it for baking. It takes quite alot of precision to adjust recipes to using Cassava and balancing ratios. Baking with Cassava does require the use of an additional starch; either Tapioca or Arrowroot and increasing your Baking Powder (I make my own with Cream of Tartar and Soda) depending on the lift you need. Research, trial and error- clean, healthy baking can be achieved!

Exactly as expected

Good quality cassava flour. I ordered one package to try and liked it so much, I ordered 2 more.

Excellent

Why did you pick this product vs others?: What is this "white powder" that they shipped me? Do not buy this flour! I tried making tortillas and could not make dough from it. No matter how much flour I added it would not thicken up. It reminds me of cross between playdough and that slime you can make at home. When cooked into tortillas, it has a sticky gluten texture in the middle, almost like rice flour has in mochi. And it has a horrible taste, like wallpaper paste. In fact I think wallpaper paste probably would have tasted better and been easier to make tortillas from. Also it is a pure white powder! I remember my previous cassava flour cooking up into delicious off white tortilla too. What happened?

This Cassava flour was okay. I prefer the Terrasoul brand and that’s what I usually buy because it has the perfect consistency, but I noticed they haven’t been selling that brand anymore. The Impact cassava flour doesn’t seem to work as well in recipes, I’ve noticed it needs less liquids than the recipe calls for or the recipe is ruined with too much liquid and I have to add a ton more cassava flour. I bake and cook with many different grain free flours since I’m on an AIP diet and this one is just okay. I prefer a thicker more sturdy consistency. This cassava flour is bright white in color and what I usually buy is more of a yellowish white color. The main good thing I can say about it is that’s a good gluten-free option. Hope this helps!!

I bought while traveling on the mainland and brought in home to Hawaii with me. I made crackers out of it and they are sooooo good. I couldn’t find this brand the local health food store had another brand $14 for only 1lb. I was so happy to find it on Amazon and 2lb for less than half price. I have made muffins and other items. It worked great for my needs. I will definitely keep buying this brand.

Updated July/2024 - I actually started craving the unique flavor and texture of this cassava flour after that first bag, and now I love using it for quick flatbreads, tortillas, and pizza crusts. I ended up getting a subscription and am on my 5th bag! I just remembered to update my review because this company was so nice to reach out to me and offer a refund if I was unsatisfied. Great company! May/2024- This cassava flour texture threw me for a loop at first because it's not like amy other I've ever worked with before. It's almost like a cornmeal texture and doesn't absorb as much liquid as others I've tried. I started adding a little bit of modified tapioca starch when making wraps or pizza crust and it helps so much. Glad I got a small bag, but might order again in occasion
