Cassava flour, also known as Lafun, is a fine flour made from dried, fermented cassava tubers. It is a staple in many West African households and is naturally gluten-free. Lafun is used to prepare fufu, a smooth and stretchy swallow served with soups and stews. It has a slightly tangy flavor from fermentation and is rich in carbohydrates, making it a filling and versatile ingredient.
