Tapioca is a starchy substance derived from the root of the cassava plant, native to South America. Widely used in Latin American, Asian, and African cuisines, it is commonly found in forms such as pearls, flakes, or flour. Tapioca is gluten-free, making it a popular choice for those with gluten sensitivities. It is low in fat, protein, and fiber but serves as a quick source of energy due to its high carbohydrate content. While it lacks significant vitamins or minerals, it is often combined with nutrient-rich foods to enhance its nutritional profile. Tapioca is used in puddings, bubble tea, baked goods, and as a thickening agent in recipes. However, it provides little nutritional value on its own, so it is best consumed as part of a balanced diet. Care should be taken to ensure cassava is properly processed to eliminate potentially harmful compounds.
