Tapioca Starch | 25 kg Bag
Food Grade Tapioca Starch for Baking, Thickening, Dry Blends, and Food Manufacturing
Tapioca Starch is a food grade starch manufactured and packaged by ONSET Worldwide in 25 kg bags. Derived from the root of the cassava plant, this white to off-white powder is commonly used as a gluten-free thickener, binder, and texture-building ingredient in commercial food production.
With its neutral, slightly sweet, clean aroma, tapioca starch is well suited for applications where formulators need thickening performance without adding a strong flavor. It is commonly used in sauces, soups, gravies, puddings, pie fillings, bakery products, snacks, dry mixes, and gluten-free formulations.
