Cassava, tapioca, attiéké… What’s the difference? Find out everything about these gluten-free treasures!

✨ Introduction

You hear about cassava, tapioca, attiéké… but you're not quite sure what they are? These gluten-free ingredients are increasingly found in organic sections, health recipes, and international cuisines. At Yummi, cassava is our star! So, we'll explain everything you need to know to better understand and incorporate them into your daily routine 🌿

1. 🌱 What is cassava?

Cassava (also known as cassava ) is a highly nutritious tropical root vegetable, naturally gluten-free, rich in complex carbohydrates, and easy to digest. Grown primarily in Africa, South America, and Asia, it's a staple food for millions of people. 👉 At Yummi, we love it for its versatility , nutritional value , and mild flavor that lends itself to a wide variety of recipes!

2. 🧁 Tapioca: cassava starch

Tapioca is extracted from cassava: it's pure starch , often processed into pearls (used in bubble tea) or fine flour. It's very digestible and perfect for:

• recipes for babies 👶
• soft puddings, breads or pancakes
• thicken soups or sauces

💡 In short: tapioca = cassava starch → light texture, no strong taste, great for desserts.

3. 🍚 Attiéké: fermented cassava semolina

Attiéké is a traditional Ivorian semolina made from fermented, grated, steamed cassava. Its texture is similar to couscous, but it's gluten-free!

He is :

• • rich in fiber
• • slightly acidic
• • Great with vegetables, meat, fish, or even in a veggie bowl 🌿

✨ At Yummi, we offer a 100% natural “Prestige” attiéké, with a fine and light texture that appeals to the whole family!
