Westpoint Naturals Tapioca Flour 400 g

Tapioca is a starch obtained from the roots of the cassava plant, also called yucca or manioc. The long cylindrical roots range from about 2 to 8 inches in diameter, and 18 to 48 inches in length. They grow in clusters weighing from 5 to 30 pounds and have a tough brown skin, which when peeled, reveals a crisp white flesh. The roots are dried and then baked or boiled before being grounded into flour. Tapioca flour is clean white in colour, with a bland flavour.
