Starches and Flours

All Africans consider corn starch or root vegetable starch as their staple.  Why buy substitutes, when the real thing is available?  We have cassava fu fu, cassava flour, yam flour, plantain flour and gari for West and Central Africans.  For East African & South African food we maize meal.  Did you know that our maize meal is equivalent to a very coarse corn meal flour.  Use it to make cornbread or pap.
