Zita West recipe with tapioca flour

[Lilly12255]

Anyone knows why Zita West publishes recipes with tapioca flour? It’s a high Glycemic index flour apparently. Wondering what’s the rational?

Presumably for people avoiding gluten? Also I heard when you bake with it you can use less fat than you would with other flours.

There are other gluten free options with lower GI index, that’s what I find strange

I'm having a little google, and interestingly some people seem to think cassava (which tapioca flour is made of) may be good for fertility, although it's a bit of a niche opinion verywellhealth.com/the-bene...
