A healthier, better-tasting wheat alternative

• Cassava is gluten-free, nut-free, and grain-free, making it a great substitute to wheat.
• Compared to other wheat substitutes like almond and coconut, it is the most similar in taste to wheat-based options.
• It is paleo-friendly, with important properties like improved glucose tolerance, better blood pressure control, better appetite management, and lower triglycerides.
• It has been described by the Huffington post as a “hidden” superfood and by the United Nations as “the food of the 21st century.”

Despite cassava’s incredible health benefits, the tuber spoils 3 days after harvest, with over 40% of the global annual harvest lost on average. Consequently,

• A majority of the 20 million cassava farmers in the world today, 75% of whom are women, live on under a dollar a day per capita income.
• Globally, 93 million tons of spoilage are recorded annually, the equivalence of 235 million tons of CO2 emissions.

Solution

At CassVita, we have invented a breakthrough technology for increasing the shelf-life of cassava from 3 days to 18 months.

This enables us to offer a healthier, better-tasting wheat alternative, in a sustainable way.
