What is the difference between tapioca flour and manioc flour? ?!
Answers:
Tapioca flour (aka tapioca starch) is a 100% pure starch product, it's basically cassava root just washed and filtered!.
Manioc flour is finely ground whole cassava/manioc root, and thus contains fiber and other vegetable matter!. They are not the same and cannot be substituted for one another in recipes!. The end results will affect the both the taste and texture!.
Often times, they are mistakenly labelled as the same product!.
