Cassava flour
Cassava flour is a naturally low-histamine, grain-free flour with no known histamine-triggering properties.
Made from dried and ground cassava root, this flour is about as straightforward as it gets from a histamine standpoint.
-
No fermentation involved — standard cassava flour is simply dried and milled, with none of the aging or fermentation that tends to raise histamine levels
-
Widely used in grain-free baking — it behaves similarly to wheat flour in recipes, making it a practical swap without introducing new histamine concerns
It's a dependable base ingredient when you want to keep your baking low-histamine.
