Chang Ingredients Tapioca Flour 400g

Tapioca flour – also known as tapioca starch – is harvested from the cassava plant, and traditionally used in South American baking, or as a gluten-free substitute to plain flour. 

Tapioca starch is taken from the cassava plant. It is made by peeling, shredding and pressing the root, then the starch is dried to produce the smooth, white flour. With a subtle sweetness and starchy texture, tapioca flour makes a fantastic thickening agent for soups and sauces as well as adding a springy texture to sponges and muffins.

Use tapioca flour to make pão de queijo, a type of Brazillian cheese bread, or mix with salt and water to create Brazillian crêpes which you can fill with grated coconut, condensed milk or butter.
