Just about to write a blog on some rice flour pancakes I tried last night and checked out the ingreidents to find they have tapioca flour starch in – so I wondered, is Tapioca Gluten Free?
What is Tapioca?
Tapioca is a flavorless, colorless, odorless starch extracted from the root of the plant species Manihot esculenta. Tapioca is a staple food in some regions and is used worldwide as a thickening agent, principally in foods.
So the great news is another one to add to the list Tapioca is Gluten Free.
