Salud Viva Tapioca starch 250 gr

This starch is made from the root of the cassava, the result is a fine white powder similar to corn starch. Cassava gives dough elasticity, helps add body to gluten-free dough recipes, and in many cases provides that crunchy, airy texture characteristic of real bread.

* It is also used to thicken liquids, puddings, sweets, sauces, etc. It can be used to prepare a creamy custard and for your dairy-free ice cream.


* Two large molecules formed from simple sugars, called amylose and amylopectin, make starch the perfect ingredient in many recipes because of its adhesive property, the same one that makes breads and cakes fluffy.

* Cassava root has more starch than other tubers, hence its great potential as a substitute for wheat.

* With cassava starch it is not necessary to add yeast to obtain the typical sticky structure of foods made from wheat. It is used as an absorbent and water-binding agent.
