Cassava flour

Low histamine

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.
