| Description | Tapioca is a starch extracted from Manihot esculenta. In India, the term 'Tapioca' is used to represent the root of the plant (Cassava), rather than the starch. In Vietnam, it is called bot nang. In Indonesia, it is called singkong. In the Philippines, it is called sago. Tapioca is a staple food in some regions and is used worldwide as a thickening agent, mainly in foods. In Britain, the word tapioca often refers to a milk pudding thickened with arrowroot, while in Asia the sap of the sago palm is often part of its preparation. Tapioca is gluten-free, and almost completely protein-free. [Wikipedia] | ||||||||||
