It is a versatile starch that thickens and forms strong gels which provide firm but tender texture. Although it can be used as a flour for baking, it is used as a thickener in a variety of industries. Many of these industries include meat, dairy, bakery and sauces. Ettlinger Corporation is a leading bulk supplier of tapioca starches across the nation. Contact Us Tapioca Starches Applications Tapioca starch works well in a variety of formulations and recipes, making it a functional ingredient in the following applications: Pie Meat Soup Thickener Pudding Gravies Extruded items such as: Snacks Pet treats Wafers Crisps Other industrial applications Molding Adhesives Benefits of Tapioca Starches Gluten Free The most obvious benefit of tapioca starch is that it is gluten free and wheat free. This makes it an appropriate option for people who have gluten intolerances but still want to bake or add thickeners to their recipes. Bland Taste Tapioca starch has a bland, neutral taste. This is an advantage when cooking, as adding tapioca starch won’t affect the flavor of a recipe. Because of its neutral taste, tapioca starch can be used in both sweet and salty dishes without a problem. Other gluten-free starches and flours, such as buckwheat flour, potato starch, and some corn starches will change the flavor, color or texture of dishes. Tapioca starch will not. Low Protein Tapioca starch contains no protein, making it a good choice for those trying to cut their protein intake. Most other types of starches and flours contain at least some protein. For example, wheat flour contains 16 g of protein per 120 g serving, which equals about one cup. According to Fine Cooking, low-protein starches are good for cooking soft –rather than crusty, crunchy– bread, cakes and biscuits.

The price and supply of Tapioca Starch have been consistent over the years. Potato Starch Substitute Tapioca is also a great substitute for Potato Starch.
