Zocalo Sweet Potato Flour by La Tienda Feature

One pound - made in Peru
Made from milled sweet potatoes
Gluten free
Adds rich flavor and moisture to baked goods

This sweet potato flour, made from dried and milled Peruvian sweet potatoes, is a fantastic gluten-free substitute for regular flour in a wide array of foods. Sweet potato flour holds moisture well and brings rich flavor and a touch of sweetness to baked goods including breads, cookies, pancakes or crepes, and biscuits. It can also be used in soups, as a thickener for sauces, or in a breading for fish. Sweet potatoes have been a source of nutrition and a part of Peruvian cuisine for more than 5,000 years. They are high in fiber, vitamin A, iron and calcium, and despite the "sweet" in their name, studies have shown that they help stabilize blood sugar levels.
