What is tapioca flour?

Of indigenous origin, tapioca, also known as gum, is a starch (edible underground vegetables) extracted from cassava. It is a food widely present in the meals of many Brazilians, whether for breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack or even dinner.

Created and widely cultivated in the northern region of Brazil, some people know this food by the name of biju or beiju, being considered an Intangible and Cultural Heritage since 2006 by the Council for the Preservation of the Historic Site of Olinda.

As it is a food rich in carbohydrate sources, such as starch, it also has a low protein and fiber proportion, in addition to being gluten-free. With this in mind, we can say it is a flour that can replace other foods, such as bread, as it is considered lighter and healthier for everyday life.
