SHILOH FARMS Tapioca Flour is a grain-free flour derived from the cassava root. Finely ground and slightly sweet, this starchy white flour is a versatile alternative with wide-ranging applications. Commonly used as a binder, tapioca flour imparts a great texture to baked goods, creating crispy crusts and chewy cookies.
Because it quickly reaches a high viscosity at lower temperatures, tapioca flour also makes an ideal thickener for pie fillings, sauces, and soups. It dissolves completely in liquid, producing a smooth, glossy consistency. Plus, tapioca flour remains stable when refrigerated or frozen - it never coagulates or separates.
This is the tapioca flour recommended by Silvana Nardone in her book Cooking for Isaiah.
Suggestions:
1. For every cup of flour in a recipe, substitute up to 10 percent tapioca flour.
2. Use about 1/4 to 1/2 cup per recipe to sweeten breads made with rice and millet flour.
3. Substitute tapioca flour for cornstarch 2:1.
4. Use tapioca flour in place of instant tapioca as a thickener in recipes. Instant tapioca doesn't dissolve completely and can leave small gelatinous blobs suspended in the liquid. Tapioca flour is finely ground and dissolves completely, eliminating the gelatinous blob problem.
5. To avoid lumps, first mix tapioca flour with an equal amount of cold liquid until it forms a paste, then whisk it into the liquid you're trying to thicken. Once the thickener is added, cook the mixture briefly to remove any starchy flavor (don't overcook!)
6. Because it works so quickly, tapioca flour is a good choice if you want to correct a sauce just before serving it.

This Tapioca Flour is by far the best I’ve tried. When mixed in a rice flour and potato starch blend (for all purpose gluten free flour) it leaves no after taste as other flours can.

If you do any Gluten-Free baking, and mix your own flours or use any tapioca flour, Shiloh Farms Tapioca Flour makes a huge difference! I don’t know what they do differently but it works.
