Cassava Tapioca is a starch extracted from the root of the cassava plant, widely used in various culinary applications. The process involves washing, grinding, and extracting the starch from the cassava root, which is then dried into granules or pearls. Tapioca is naturally gluten-free and has a neutral flavor, making it an ideal ingredient for both sweet and savory dishes.

Tapioca is primarily composed of starch, offering a source of carbohydrates and energy. It is commonly used to thicken soups, sauces, and gravies, or as a base for puddings and desserts. One of the most popular forms of cassava tapioca is the small, translucent pearls used in tapioca pudding and bubble tea. These pearls absorb liquids and expand when cooked, giving them a chewy texture that is highly valued in various culinary traditions.

Cassava tapioca is also used in gluten-free baking, providing structure and moisture to products like cakes, bread, and cookies. Its ability to absorb water and form a gel-like consistency makes it a versatile and useful ingredient in many different recipes.
