Gluten Free Cassava Flour 1kg - Kinazi - Fine Milled Flour from Rwanda for Gluten Free Baking and African Dishes

Really top quality cassava flour. Free running, thoughtfully made with a slight sherbety back note from the vitamin C content. No mustiness, which shows its really fresh.

I baked with this flour but thought my biscuits etc., had a strange taste. Only when I had mixed it with hot water as a cereal and tasted it did I realise it tasted acrid and really foul. It gave off a terrible smell but the sell by date is not until July 24. It also states on the bag that it is human food?? Also on the bag NOR FOR EXPORT, so I am wondering if this is safe for sale. I disposed of what was left as I would not trust it, given what I read about poor Cassava having cyanide in it.I see one other person was ill. If I buy Cassava again it will not be from this Rwandan company.

At first I felt fine but after trying maybe half of the pack, I became very ill. I became bedridden and getting diarrhoea. I wasn't at all expecting the flour to be the problem because in the initial days I felt fine. Maybe it was making its impact gradually, because I think my stomach became feeling sensitive to jalapeño before I became very unwell.Now I don't know for sure if it was the fault of the brand, I don't know if my batter should have been less runny to allow for cassava to evaporate the water. But either way, it's not for me.And I have low energy so was only eating a few things, day in and day out. Courgette, onions, and mushrooms, and this product. Maybe fish, butter, and eggs, too.When I got ill, I started to leave these things (except cassava) to see what I could be intolerant to from the very few things I was consuming, but didn't get better.Well, then I read about the symptomsof poisoning from cassava and I was amazed, I had them!And I got better after stopping the use of cassava. And I can now eat onions etc with no problem.I don't think I menstruated well the following cycle after poisoning but I'm menstruating now. I did get worried if it damaged my reproductive system as I rarely miss a period.So, I think buying cassava flour from any brand can be rather risky. Things can go wrong in its preparation for mass production, and if not prepared properly, it can poison -- especially children.After my experience I'm scared of trying cassava again, or at least its flour.And I think it's actually more tasty (and easier for me) making flatbread with the root veg rather the powder form. The one made from whole veg at home was so much tastier, absolutely tasted like paratha, if fried with ghee, and looked more beautiful, too, just like a paratha.Please read up how to prepare cassava safely at home before doing it and do not reuse the water it's boiled in. This veg needs to be handled with knowledge, I usually don't read up and so advicing from knowing the consequences!If you do buy flour, please learn about the symptoms of poisoning so you can stop it if get poisoned. And I personally wouldn't want to give it to children, it's risky. Children have little bodies so they can get a more lethal dose for their body, they can die from it. As an adult, I found it hard to even drink water, my body was trying very hard to flush out the poison. I wouldn't give it to kids at all.

I bought this product and it had expiring date 2days laterDisappointed

Nice fine flour easy to use make sure u have plenty of moisture in it or it cracks when u roll it out

The media could not be loaded. Poor quality, and poor packaging had to discard the product.

The best quality of this brand.Definitely will buy again.
