Product Background

• At AKFP, through more than a year of research and development, we pioneered our exclusive gluten-free, clean-label, GMO-free, grain-free flour made from naturally gluten-free cassava roots using our proprietary milling process. As this flour has become an essential ingredient for bakers pursuing the gluten-free, grain-free and paleo markets, we realized that the same consumers who prefer those diets also wish for organic foods. It took a while for AKFP to gain access to organic farms planted to cassava, and now we are there with our cassava root supplies. And so, this is a natural evolutionary step for our cassava ingredients portfolio.
• King Lion Organic Premium Cassava Flour now enables gluten-free and grain-free bakers and snack manufacturers to offer the organic products many consumers prefer. Premium Cassava Flour has been tested to perform well in cookies, brownies, cakes, muffins, pancakes, tortillas, tortilla chips, breads/buns, and pizza crusts, with many successful products in the market today. With superb taste, moistness, crumb structure and texture, gluten-free products made with this flour provide the same excellent eating qualities as the best wheat-based products.
