Ground cassium

Ground cassium is a type of plant-based ingredient that comes from the cassava root, which is a starchy tuber plant native to South America. Cassava, also known as yuca or manioc, is a common food staple in many parts of the world due to its versatility and nutritional benefits.

To make ground cassium, the cassava root is harvested, peeled, washed, and then grated into a fine texture. The grated cassava is then dried and ground into a powder, resulting in the final product of ground cassium. This process helps to concentrate the nutrients and flavours of the cassava root, making it easier to incorporate into various recipes.

Ground cassium is often included in food products for its thickening properties and as a gluten-free alternative to wheat-based thickeners. It is commonly used in gluten-free baking to improve the texture of baked goods like bread, cakes, and cookies. Ground cassium can also be used as a binder in dishes such as soups, stews, and sauces to help create a smooth and creamy consistency.
