organic tapioca flour

Tapioca flour, also known as tapioca starch, is the starch that comes from the cassava root, a native Brazilian vegetable. Typically used in gluten-free and paleo cooking, such as baked goods, bread, and pie crusts as well as a thickener for sauces. It also commonly used as a replacement for arrowroot starch/flour in various recipes. It is best used in combination with other gluten-free flours as it is quite starchy on its own. However, this starchiness helps to play that sticky role that gluten often plays, in non-gluten free recipes. Store in an airtight container and keep in a cool, dry place.
