Tapioca pudding is a creamy dessert made from tapioca pearls, milk (or a dairy alternative), sugar, and often flavored with vanilla or cinnamon. Tapioca, derived from cassava root, has origins in South America but became popular worldwide, especially in American and Asian cuisines. The pudding is known for its smooth texture with distinctive chewy pearls. Nutritionally, tapioca is gluten-free, making it a good option for those with gluten sensitivities. It provides carbohydrates for quick energy, but it is low in protein, fiber, and essential nutrients. While the milk base contributes calcium and vitamin D, the added sugar can make it high in calories, so portion control is key. For a healthier twist, the recipe can be adjusted with alternative sweeteners or by using low-fat milk options. Tapioca pudding’s comforting sweetness makes it a satisfying treat when enjoyed in moderation.
