The Ancient Roasted Flour of Canary

Gofio is a unique flour made from roasted grains that needs no further cooking. Because the grain is toasted before being ground, this versatile ingredient is ready to eat straight out of the bag.

Originating from the Canary Islands, this pre-cooked staple was a vital survival food for indigenous people and sailors alike. It has an incredible shelf life and a distinct nutty flavor that can be added to milk, soups, or even kneaded into a dough. You can find it under different names across South America, where it remains a hidden gem for quick, hearty meals. It is truly one of history’s original convenience foods.
