le mot d'Arawak Market
Did you know that manioc was once a staple in the daily diet of Guadeloupeans, just as wheat flour is today in Europe?
Today you have the opportunity to discover this heritage treasure, transformed into flour by the skilful hands of Nassiéra Talcone. Nassiéra Talcone, who trained as an agro-processor, founded "Nassy Douceurs" with the aim of enhancing the value of local West Indian products.
I am delighted to inform you that I am rich in starch and that I remain supple when cooked. My texture and flavour are similar to wheat flour, but I have the advantage of being gluten-free.
In addition, I am easy to digest. I can be used medicinally to treat digestive system problems such as diarrhoea or heartburn. To do this, simply dissolve a tablespoon of my flour in a glass of water. I would like to warn you, however, that this is not medical information.
TASTING TIP:
Don't hesitate to use my flour to creolise your aperitifs with mini West Indian bokits or codfish accras. You can also try making fried plantain slices coated with my delicious flour. I am perfectly suited to your gluten-free desserts and pastries. Use me in the same proportions as wheat flour, with the same cooking time
