Tapioca Starch
From $1.73
Tapioca starch is a fine white starchy powder produced from the cassava root that has undergone extensive extraction and washing. Native to the North Region of Brazil, it quickly spread throughout the South American continent and is now cultivated worldwide. It has a mildly neutral flavour that is perfect for baking and it is also naturally gluten free.
In the Kitchen:
Tapioca starch is mostly noted as a gluten free alternative thickener for making sauces, casseroles & soups, though it is also used as an additive in gluten free breads & flat breads. We also like to use it as a binding agent to make a gluten free Quiche crust – see recipe here.
