Tapioca flour, Dragon Superfoods, 200 g

Cassava, also known as tapioca, is one of the most widely used food plants in the Americas, cultivated long before the Columbian era. Pollen dated back to 4600 BC has been found in the lowlands of the Gulf of Mexico, while the earliest direct evidence of its cultivation was discovered in El Salvador, proving that the Mayans grew cassava as a staple food over 1400 years ago.

The most commonly consumed part of cassava is the root. It can be eaten whole, grated, or ground into flour. Tapioca flour is a favorite among people with food allergies, as it is naturally gluten-free, grain-free, and nut-free, making it suitable for a wide variety of diets.

Thanks to its excellent nutritional profile-particularly its lack of gluten-tapioca is recommended for healthy eating plans, weight management, and gluten intolerance. It is also a great food for athletes and people with high physical activity, as it provides a rich source of energy while being virtually fat-free. Tapioca is a source of proteins and essential minerals, including calcium, potassium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc. It also contains choline, vital for supporting the body’s metabolism.

Uses:

Tapioca has a clean, natural taste and neutral aroma, making it highly versatile in cooking and baking.

- Ideal as a thickener for soups, sauces, and stews (1 tbsp tapioca flour = 2.5 tbsp wheat flour).
- Perfect for smoothies, creams, desserts, breads, porridges, and pastries-replacing wheat or corn starch.
- Naturally enhances the texture of dishes, giving them a smooth, slightly gelatinous consistency.
- Can successfully replace up to 20% of wheat flour in baked goods.
