Tapioca powder is produced from the edible and starchy cassava root. It is white-coloured flour with slightly sweet taste. Tapioca powder can be used to bind gluten free dishes and helps in improving the texture of baked food items. It is extremely thick and is ideal for thickening sauces, pies and soups. They will make the baked food items chewier. It will thicken at low temperatures and won’t lose stability when frozen. It can be used as a substitute for cornstarch.
Tapioca powder creates a clear, glossy gel when used as a thickener. It is a fine powder that will dissolve in the dish with a uniform consistency. It can be combined with gluten-free flours for best results. Vedagiri Herbals provide finest and purest form of tapioca powder which is processed in traditional way.
