My child's allergies inspired me to start cassava enterprise

Have you ever tasted or heard of cake or chapati made out of cassava flour? Most people grew up eating cassava as a tea escort for breakfast, it would be boiled, fried, and sometimes the cassava flour would be mixed with maize flour to make porridge or ugali. But not many thought that cassava flour could be used to bake or make chapati.

Juliet Oduor, started making cassava chapati, pancakes, and cakes after she discovered her son was allergic to gluten. Gluten is a protein found in grains like wheat, barley, and rice. Gluten can trigger an autoimmune response or other symptoms including bloating, diarrhoea, and constipation.
