This is 100% incorrect information. I am a manufacturer of alternative flours and let me just state that tapioca starch/flour is derived from the residue after the crushing or shredding of the cassava. Let me further clarify in order to make cassava flour you must peel, grate,squeeze and then dehydrate and lastly blend. Now with the tapioca flour after squeezing, the cassava starch will settle at the base of your container and the water will be at the top. In this instance when you remove the water you will remain with the tapioca starch but in order for it to be used you will then take the wet starch and dehydrate it an then grind it. Now when it comes to baking tapioca flour is my preferred choice because it is more fine in texture when it comes to making gravy or dumplins cassava flour will be better suited.

I grew up use casava and tapioca. The process for tapioca is very simple. Grate the casava. Use a cotton cloth and wring the liquid from the grated casava. Set aside for 1² hrs. The starch will settle to the bottom. Throw of the liquid and let the starch dry. Being from the islands, we covered it with a thin cloth and place in the sun. When bone dry we mashed it until it became powder. The material that is left (the casava) we separated and allow to air dry. In a hot iron pot or skilled we spread some of it evenly and allow to bake on a slow fire. Turn into opposites side after slightly broen. Can be served instead of bread. We call this bammy and can be made as thick as desired. Eat fresh or after a few days, soak in milk or water and toast for a delicious variety. There is no chemical processing needed to get tapioca.
So tired of people standing in the grocery store talking as if they matter

😂 people don't know what tapioca is. It's so funny! tapioca is CASSAVA STARCH 😂 tapioca is a Portuguese name and means homemade bread. Original name is tipi oka native from the Tupi language. Tapioca is a byproduct from cassava starch and is an indigenous bread that looks like a crepe.
