Frequently asked

Is attieke the same as couscous?

It looks similar but is made from fermented cassava rather than wheat semolina, with a tangier flavour.

Is it gluten-free?

Yes — it's made from cassava, so it's naturally gluten-free, though always check the pack for any cross-contamination notice.
