Pure Tapioca Starch 500g

Category: All products / Prescription approved products

A light velvety starch which is obtained from the root of the tropical plant, cassava. This product has a very slight sweet taste and is an excellent addition to any bread, cake or biscuit recipe. Tapioca is also very useful for the production of gluten-free sauces, both sweet and savoury, to enhance any meal. Tapioca flour is used as a thickening agent and produces a clear gel and it also helps to prevent breads and cakes from crumbling. It also lightens baked goods while adding a chewiness (perfect for cookies), and it helps gluten-free products to brown. An advantage with tapioca starch is that it is very easily digested.

Now approved as a borderline substance, this flour is available on prescription, either alone, or as an ingredient in our Pure blended plain flour (1kg)which can easily be used as a flour substitute.

A great constituent of many wheat/gluten-free flour mixes why not try: 1 cup Teff flour, 1 cup brown rice flour, 2/3 cup potato starch and 1/2 cup of tapioca starch.
