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 people at Chebe want consumers to know that they didn't start out as a gluten-free company. They wanted only to introduce North Americans to the delicious bread they found in Brazil, made from the local manioc root. However, the response from those who were gluten-intolerant let them know that they were filling a need in many people's lives.

The manioc, or cassava, or yucca root was food for indigenous peoples in mountainous and desert regions of Brazil and elsewhere. It is a tuberous root, eaten as a vegetable and used to make many traditional foods. The natives learned to process it to remove the inherent toxins, much like people learned to eat poke or acorns cautiously. Fortunately for today's busy consumers, the Chebe mixes are ready to use, safe, and delicious.

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.

Other mixes contain added ingredients, usually spices. Check the labels or the website to see if there is anything that you shouldn't have because of personal food sensitivities or allergies. Mixes are sold to make pizza crust, focaccia, cinnamon rolls, and breadsticks, to name a few.

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.

It's really worth trying at least one of the mixes to see if this is what you've been looking for. Enjoy a great pizza again, or a loaf of bread hot from the oven. The mixes are affordable, too, which is nice since many alternative 'flours' are costly. If you create new recipes using the mixes, the company hopes you'll send them in for others to enjoy. The website likes to post encouragement and great recipes for those who are struggling with a new, gluten-free diet.

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!
