Plantain flour

Plantain flour is unripe green plantain (Musa paradisiaca) dried and milled to a fine, pale-buff powder. Naturally gluten-free, grain-free and nut-free, mild and faintly banana-green, it is the body behind West African fufu and amala-style swallows, a thickener across the tropics, and a starchy staple flour for grain-free and gluten-free baking.
