Where to buy pouvilho near me?

Pouvilho is a type of starch derived from cassava root, commonly used in Brazilian and Portuguese cooking. It comes in two forms: sweet (polvilho doce) and sour (polvilho azedo).

Keep pouvilho in a sealed container in a cool, dry place. It can also be stored in the refrigerator or freezer for longer shelf life.

When stored properly in a sealed container, pouvilho can last up to a year or even longer, especially if kept in the freezer.
