Tapioca Starch

Tapioca Starch is a staple food in some regions and is used worldwide as a thickening agent, mainly in foods. Tapioca is gluten-free, almost completely protein-free, and contains practically no vitamins. In Britain, the word tapioca often refers to a milk pudding thickened with arrowroot, while in Asia the sap of the sago palm is often part of its preparation.
