Tapioca Starch

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. It has a very long shelf life.

For best results, mix tapioca starch with a little cold liquid (like water or broth) to create a slurry before adding it to hot liquids. This prevents clumping.

Tapioca starch creates a wonderfully glossy finish, making it ideal for fruit pies and glazes.

It thickens quickly and holds its thickening power even after freezing and reheating.

Fruit (especially berries, apples, and peaches)

Dairy and non-dairy milks

Broths and stocks

Chocolate

Coconut milk

Adding tapioca starch directly to hot liquids without making a slurry first can lead to lumps.

Overheating tapioca starch after it has thickened can break it down, causing it to lose its thickening ability.
