Product Description
Tapioca starch is a well-known and popular flour-like product worldwide. The raw material, cassava - a plant native to South America - holds a prominent place among staple foods. The Mayans began its cultivation, processing its roots. Flour, alcoholic beverages, and starch can be made from it. Tapioca starch is practically made from the starch content of the cassava root, not just the ground cassava root. The mature roots are harvested, then washed, mashed, and the liquid is separated using a special process. This results in a unique starch, which can be an alternative to traditional wheat flour. Nature Cookta's Tapioca starch can be used in various ways in the kitchen, mainly recommended for baking, but it can also be an excellent additive for soups, sauces, and puddings. This alternative thickening agent is one of the most kitchen-friendly starches, as it is completely taste and colorless. Moreover, it provides extremely smooth, lump-free thickening in our dishes. An added benefit is that it tolerates temperature fluctuations well and does not separate during the cooling of cooked food. Additionally, we strongly recommend it for baking bread and pastries. When mixed with grain flours, it produces a real, spongy bread texture, as well as a nice crust, adding crispiness to our baked goods. It does not contain lectins, saponins, phytic acid, or any anti-nutritive substances. An excellent ingredient for the "free-from" kitchen.
