About Dadinho tapioca

Dadinho de Tapioca, or tapioca cubes, is a beloved Brazilian snack made from tapioca starch, cheese (often coalho cheese), and milk. This mixture is baked or fried into bite-sized pieces with a crispy exterior and a soft, chewy interior. Originating from Northeastern Brazilian cuisine, Dadinho de Tapioca combines traditional ingredients for a satisfying and flavorful treat. While delicious, its nutritional profile varies depending on preparation. Tapioca starch offers a gluten-free carbohydrate source, though low in fiber and protein. The cheese adds calcium and protein but also increases saturated fat and sodium levels. When fried, the calorie count rises due to added oils. For a lighter option, baked Dadinho de Tapioca reduces fat content while retaining its delightful texture. Enjoy it in moderation as a tasty appetizer or snack, particularly in celebrations or gatherings, to experience a bit of Brazil’s rich culinary heritage.
