What Is An Organic Chebe Product

By Donald Long


There is a West African shrub that yields chebe seeds, used by the women of the region to make their hair beautiful. However, an organic Chebe product line of gluten-free mixes sold in American stores is not based on this plant. Instead, it uses manioc flour and starch, which comes from a tuberous root. This root is also known as yucca or cassava root. The starch is known as tapioca.

The founders of the Chebe brand emphasize that they began their company to introduce Americans to a delicious bread they encountered in Brazil. They soon learned that many, if not most, of their customers were searching for gluten-free substitutes for favorite but forbidden foods. Now the product line include mixes of many kinds, all based on manioc flour.

The manioc, or yucca, or cassava, or tapioca root was a primary source of food for the indigenous population of Brazil and surrounding regions. The tuber has a thick, rough, brown skin but a snow-white insides which yield a flour or a starch, depending on its processing. The root contains toxins and must be carefully pounded and washed to make it edible. Most consumers will want to buy a ready-to-use mix, although the root can be bought in some exotic-foods groceries.

You can visit the gluten-free section of grocery stores or go online to the home site of the company to see what mixes are available. These include the original bread mix, which contains manioc flour, manioc starch, cream of tartar, and sea salt. These ingredients make a tasty loaf of bread with a pleasing texture.

The other mixes have extra ingredients, like spices for the breadsticks and pizza crust, and sweetener for the cinnamon rolls. No longer do you have to go without these favorite foods or eat bland, tasteless imitations. You can use the mixes as a starting point, too, and make your own variations of recipes you can find online or on the back of the box.

People on a gluten-free diet often abandon breads or baked goods entirely because they simply don't find most substitute foods appealing. They complain of the lack of taste and especially texture and chewiness. However, the pain, cramping, and bloating that afflict many people with gluten intolerance makes them determined to avoid grains. There are many gluten-free products on the shelves, so it's hard to try them all.

Don't give up! Try Chebe mixes and you may be surprised. You can once again enjoy homemade bread at an affordable price and from a convenient mix. Pizza on Chebe's gluten-free crust is a pleasure. The company is always looking for other recipes, too, so keep up with what consumers are doing with the mixes. The website is a good source for information and for delicious recipes.

It's wonderful that the mixes are organic, too. This means that they are free of GMO ingredients, pesticide and herbicide residue, and -traces of chemical fertilizer. Your purchase helps support sustainable agriculture and protect farm workers from chemical toxins. Enjoy baked goods again and live green!
