Tapioca is the starch extracted from the root of the cassava plant (or yucca, as it is more commonly known in Greece), which produces dry white flour. Tapioca has a neutral taste and strong gelling properties, which makes it particularly useful as a thickening agent in both sweet and savory dishes. It contains a lot of carbohydrates, which are easily digested, and a little protein. It is an important component of the gluten-free diet.
Keep in a cool and dark place.
It is used as a thickener in bakery products, sauces, puddings and soups.
