Tapioca 200g

Breakfast ready, Tapioca oat is a staple food in Nigeria made from the starch of the cassava plant. Cassava is an essential energy source and contains nutrients, such as protein, calcium, and fiber. It consists of almost pure carbs and contains very little protein or fiber. Tapioca has become popular recently as a gluten-free alternative to wheat and other grains. It’s naturally gluten-free, so it can serve as a wheat substitute in cooking and baking for people who are on a gluten-free diet. Tapioca is a dried product and usually sold as white flour, flakes or pearls. Tapioca is dehydrated when it’s being made, because of the dehydration process, the flakes, sticks and pearls must be soaked or boiled before consumption. They may double in size and become leathery, swollen and translucent. Tapioca flour is often mistaken for cassava flour, which is ground cassava root. However, tapioca is the starchy liquid that’s extracted from ground cassava root. It contains resistant starch which feeds the friendly bacteria in the gut, thereby reducing inflammation and a number of harmful bacteria.
