Hoosier Hill Farm Tapioca Flour 2 lb bag

Tapioca starch is used for thickening pie fillings, since it thickens at a lower temperature than cornstarch, remains stable when frozen, and gives finished products a glossy sheen. This starch is finely ground so that it dissolves completely and is sometimes used to thicken soups, stews, and sauces. Tapioca flour, also known as tapioca starch, is ground to a powdery fine granulation from dried cassava roots. It is a starchy and slightly sweet flour that is especially good for thickening soups, sauced, dips, pie fillings and puddings. Tapioca flour is also an excellent ingredient for gluten-free baking, as it lends a springy texture, promotes browning and makes crispy crusts.
