Intolerances to Grains Helped Lead to Otto’s Naturals Cassava Flour

It wasn’t too long after John and Sadie got married that they discovered that both of them were exhibiting signs that they were intolerant to wheat. They found that eating food that had wheat in it caused them to become bloated and uncomfortable. Because of this problem they both made it a point to try the foods offered in the countries they visited while traveling. They were surprised when they discovered cassava flour during a trip to Africa. While it seemed to help with their tummy problems, the African cassava was rough and smelled rather bad. Finally, they discovered just the right cassava flour in Brazil and it wasn’t long before Otto’s Naturals Cassava Flour made its debut. By the way, Otto’s Naturals is named after their adorable son Otto.
