Tapioca is obtained from manioc, an exotic plant that forms the staple diet in South America. It provides the body with energy in the form of carbohydrates and valuable minerals. It is highly digestible and contains no gluten, making it particularly suitable for people intolerant to this allergen. Tapioca can be used to complement soups, sauces and, because of its unique shape, as small pearls to decorate desserts. It's also a distinctive addition to so-called Bubble Tea.
Tapioca is a starch derived from manioc, widely used in Asian countries as well as in South America. Tapioca's flavor is very neutral, so it works equally well in both savory and sweet dishes, taking on the flavor of the spices used in the preparation.
