Tapioca Flour, also known as Tapioca Starch, is a popular gluten-free thickener and stabilizer made from the starch of the cassava root. It is used in many gluten-free baking applications to add a soft chewy texture. It is also used as a thickening agent in sauces, soups, puddings, and stews. Furthermore, since Tapioca itself is rich in carbohydrates and starch content, tapioca starch can be a good source of energy that would be slowly released in the body over time.
