Tapioca flakes from Pará - FB - 100g

Because it is made only from cassava, tapioca is a natural food with low sodium content, no fat, rich in easily digestible carbohydrates, and gluten-free. It can be used in a variety of recipes such as cakes and puddings.

Store in the refrigerator, in well-sealed glass or plastic containers. Avoid exposure to heat and light. This helps prevent fat oxidation and changes in flavor. After opening, keep the package tightly closed and preferably consume within 30 days.

Widely consumed in Pará, a state in northern Brazil, flaked (or granulated) tapioca flour is different from the ready-to-use tapioca dough that is more common and easily found in markets across the country. The ready-to-use dough contains starch gum and is usually hydrated and sifted, ideal for making flat disks to be filled. The flaked version, on the other hand, is sifted in a heated pan and stirred until it “pops,” similar to popcorn, resulting in a texture like styrofoam flakes.
