What is Tapioca?

Tapioca is a delicious starch extract derived from the cassava plant. Its most common use is in tapioca pudding, but the plant elements are also used in certain cultures as a sweet candy or snack. The useful part of the cassava plant is the root, which is where tapioca is acquired and this plant is now cultivated and enjoyed around the globe. It is native to South America, namely Northeastern Brazil, where it is simply known as cassava, but in other places on earth, it is known by other names, including manioc, yuca, and manihot. The root is usually of 1-2 pounds in weight and is rough, elongated, and brown in color. The flesh of the tuber is white and very high in carbohydrates. However, this sweet-tasting flesh should only be consumed after proper cooking.
