Tapioca is a food with multiple benefits, so it is recommended for people who want to eat healthy, for people who are allergic to gluten or have diabetes. You can introduce it (and it is even recommended) in your baby's food from the age of six months, due to its nutritional and digestive properties, folic acid content, but also its special consistency and good taste.

A great quality of this food is the fact that it can be used in gastronomy both in sweet dishes and in main courses, in its form of tapioca pearls or flour, tapioca starch.

Tapioca powder is used to thicken sauces, primarily due to its thickening power, but also due to the fact that it has a good price, lower than that of flour. Many people put tapioca pearls instead of noodles in soups or broths.

However, the most popular is tapioca pearls, used in sweet dishes: energy drinks, cold or hot puddings, prepared with water, fruit juice or vegetable milk.

Tapioca flour is used to give consistency to dishes, but also to baked dough.
