What is tapioca starch?

Q: What is tapioca starch?

Extracted from the cassava root, tapioca is almost entirely starch. It contains few nutrients and has a neutral flavor. It's a common ingredient used as a substitute for wheat in gluten free baking and can also be used as a substitute for corn starch. The primary purpose of using tapioca starch in recipes is for its binding properties. It creates a light, spongy texture in baked goods and thickens puddings, soups, and stews.
