Tapioca starch, also known as tapioca flour, is a fine, white powder made from the starchy pulp of the cassava root, a tuber vegetable native to South America.
Tapioca starch is an amazing thickening agent that gives soups, stews and sauces a silky texture. It's also a lot more stable than the more common cornstarch, which breakds down after several hours, making your sauce runny.
