Portuguese term or phrase: Farinha de mandioca flocada
I need to distinguish this flour from regular farinha de mandioca. Flocada is the one with the big fat flakes... should it be "manioc flour in flakes"? I am afraid that "flaky manioc flour" won't make sense. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Cassava Flour or Meal


Explanation:
Cassava is the more popular English translation for Mandioca. I am guessing that the more flaky version you are talking about is called Cassava Meal or Manioc Meal.
