Gofio is a traditional culinary flour originating from the Canary Islands, crafted by roasting cereal grains—such as wheat, barley, or maize—before grinding them into a fine powder on stone mills. Rooted in the pre-Hispanic Guanche culture, gofio is celebrated for its high nutritional value, protein content, and long shelf-life, and it is widely utilized across Canarian cuisine in porridges, baked goods, soups, and traditional kneaded snacks.
