Tapioca Flour 500g - VIVIO

Tapioca flour is made from edible cassava tubers. This plant (also known as bitter cassava) belongs to the thorn family. It has been prized by residents of Central America and South America for millennia. The history of the use of cassava in human nutrition dates back over 5000 years. The first to introduce cassava into their diet were the inhabitants of present-day Brazil. Over the years, the popularity of this plant grew. It arrived in Africa at the beginning of the 16th century, where it is still cultivated on a large scale and is one of the main ingredients in the diet of its inhabitants. Today, extensive cassava cultivation is found in Brazil, Bolivia, New Guinea, Malaysia and even India.
Cassava is a shrub that can reach a height of up to 3 meters. This plant is characterized by heart-shaped leaves and small flowers gathered in clusters. Nevertheless, the tubers are considered the most important component of cassava. They reach a length of 30 to 60 centimeters and their weight can reach up to 4 kilograms. The (tubers) roots of cassava are brown on the outside and whitish yellow on the inside. Interestingly, they are poisonous in their raw state. Therefore, they should be exposed to high temperatures before consumption. Cassava tubers are as popular a food ingredient in the above countries as potatoes are in Poland.
Tapioca flour is a product with a high starch content. It is obtained by grinding cassava that has previously undergone a warmer treatment. It is worth knowing that tapioca is also available in the form of groats or delicate pink pearls, which increase in volume significantly when they come into contact with water. Tapioca flour is white in color and has a fluffy texture. Most importantly, it is tasteless and completely odorless. Therefore, it can be successfully used in the preparation of desserts and dry dishes.
