Gofio is one of the most deep-rooted, ancestral foods of the Canary Islands and continues to be the staple food of many of their inhabitants. This flour made from toasted cereals is present in an endless number of dishes after undergoing a roasting and milling process. In former days it was made by hand, with the help of stones intended for this task: millstones. Today electric mills are employed, although some areas still conserve ancient water mills.
