Product Overview
Bob's Red Mill Tapioca Flour
Tapioca flour, also referred to as tapioca starch, is a starchy white flour that has a slight sweet flavour to it. Tapioca flour is an alternative to traditional wheat flours and has a variety of uses in baking. The flour is made from the starch extracted from the South American cassava plant. When the roots have fully developed, they are harvested and processed to remove toxins. The starch is then extracted from the root by a repeated process of washing and pulping the mixture, then separating off the liquid. Tapioca flour helps bind gluten free recipes and improves the texture of baked goods. Tapioca helps add crispness to crusts and chew to baked goods. Tapioca flour is an extremely smooth flour, which makes for a great thickener in sauces, pies and soups since it never discolours and contains no discernible taste or smell. It can also be used to replace corn starch (use 2 Tbsp tapioca flour for each 1 Tbsp corn starch). Moreover, it never coagulates or separates when refrigerated or frozen. Use in combination with other gluten free flours for best results.
Features & Benefits
-
Naturally Gluten-Free and Grain-Free
Made from pure cassava root starch, this flour is free from wheat, grains, and gluten—making it ideal for those with celiac disease, gluten intolerance, or grain sensitivities. -
Neutral Taste with Smooth Texture
Tapioca flour has no discernible taste or smell, allowing it to enhance recipes without altering their intended flavour. It adds structure and elasticity without grittiness. -
Exceptional Thickening Agent
Perfect for thickening soups, sauces, gravies, and pie fillings. Tapioca flour doesn’t clump or separate and retains its thickening power even after refrigeration or freezing. -
Enhances Texture in Gluten-Free Baking
Adds chewiness to breads, moisture to cakes, and crispiness to crusts. It’s commonly used in combination with other gluten-free flours to improve structure and elasticity. -
Alternative to Cornstarch
Can replace cornstarch in a 2:1 ratio (2 tablespoons tapioca flour for every 1 tablespoon cornstarch), offering a smoother consistency and better cold-storage stability.

Warning:
Manufactured in a facility that also uses tree nuts, soy and sesame seeds. Store in a cool, dry place. Keeps best sealed for freshness.
FAQs:
Q: Can tapioca flour be used as a 1:1 replacement for all-purpose flour?
A: No, tapioca flour cannot be used as a direct substitute for all-purpose flour. It is best used in combination with other gluten-free flours to provide elasticity and improve texture. As a thickener or binding agent, it’s extremely effective, but it lacks the structure needed to perform like traditional wheat flour on its own.
Q: Is tapioca flour the same as cassava flour?
A: While both are derived from the cassava root, they are not the same. Tapioca flour is made from the starch only, while cassava flour is made from the whole root, including fiber. This results in differences in texture and behavior in recipes. Tapioca flour is lighter and better suited as a thickener and textural enhancer in baking.
Q: Can tapioca flour be used to thicken cold or frozen dishes?
A: Yes! One of the standout features of tapioca flour is its ability to maintain its thickening power after refrigeration or freezing. Unlike some starches that coagulate or break down, tapioca flour creates smooth, stable textures that hold up over time.
