Lotus Organic Tapioca Flour

Lotus Organic Tapioca Flour is a cassava-derived flour for thickening and baking, with 500g and 1kg size choices. It suits cooks whose recipe names tapioca flour or tapioca starch, including sauces and flour blends where starch contributes to the finished texture.

Tapioca flour is a cassava-derived starch used in recipes for soups, gravies, cakes and biscuits. It can be part of a flour blend or the starch named in a sauce recipe. Choose tapioca for that specific recipe role, rather than selecting a different starch because the powders have a similar appearance.

Follow a recipe written for tapioca flour or starch. A soup or gravy recipe should specify how the starch is added to liquid, while a cake or biscuit recipe may combine it with other flours. The method and amount work together to produce the intended consistency. Rice flour, potato starch and tapioca flour are different ingredients, so an exchange should come from the recipe rather than the similarity of their powder formats. Keep the selected pack clearly identified in the cupboard. That makes it easier to choose the correct starch for a sauce and the correct flour blend for baking.

Choose 500g for smaller recipe batches or 1kg when you use tapioca flour more often. Select by the amount you expect to use and the storage space available, retaining the ingredient and allergen information on the actual pack when cooking for a specific diet.

Keep the organic tapioca flour in a cool, dry place, with the pack closed between uses. Use a clean, dry measure when taking the amount for a recipe, and keep dry ingredients separate from prepared food. Retain the ingredient and allergen information with the pack when cooking for someone with a specific dietary requirement.
