Tapioca Starch

Tapioca starch is a finely powdered food extracted from the root of manioc (cassava). It has been an important ingredient in South American and Asian cuisines for centuries. Light, easily soluble, and neutral in taste, it is ideal for both baking and cooking.

It is especially popular in gluten-free diets because it makes breads, cakes, and pancakes softer and lighter, while blending well with other flours. It is also an excellent thickening agent for sauces, soups, and puddings.

With low fat and protein content, it is a quickly digestible source of carbohydrates. Its use is particularly recommended if you want to prepare dough with a light, soft texture.
