A busca de auto-suficiência em farinhas panificáveis

Abstract

The search for goods substitute those that are not easily produced in Brazil should tend to occurr periodically and at times in which there are problems of importation. Here we point out successive attempts at reducing the consumption of foreign wheat, substituting it for other bread flours, such as manioc flour which could become important due to its abundance and low cost. In fact, this product had been researched and used in Brazil by the last half of the 19th century and it continued to be used upon occasion even after the Second World War.
