TAPIOCA FLOUR
Tapioca flour is made from the cassava root (picture above), and is commonly grown in Central and South America and South East Asia. The root can be used to make chips, flat bread, jellies, tapioca pearls (similar to sago) and it is also used commercially as a thickener in foods and a binder in pharmaceuticals. Tapioca flour is naturally gluten free and is great for making light and crispy batters (like salt and pepper squid), waffles, breads, pizza bases and cookies. I buy mine from the local Asian supermarket (along with my potato flour) and it's super cheap!
