Bulk Tapioca Powder - OC

Tapioca has a neutral flavor and strong gelling power, making it highly useable as a thickening agent in both sweet and savory foods. It is opaque prior to cooking but turns translucent upon hydration. Unlike Cornstarch, it can withstand a freeze thaw cycle without losing its gel structure or breaking down. Tapioca must be soaked and then boiled with a liquid to form a gel and is therefore usually added to food prior to cooking. For instance, to use it in a pie filling, mix it with the other ingredients, then let it sit for at least five minutes so that the tapioca can absorb some of the liquid.
