Starch is the most common carbohydrate in the human diet and is contained in many staple foods. The major sources of starch intake worldwide are the cereals (rice, wheat, and maize) and the root vegetables (potatoes and cassava).
Cassava root is made into tapioca flour (or tapioca starch) by peeling, grating and drying the starchy root; removing all the water and fiber; and forming a powdery, fine, granulated flour mixture. Of all the types of tapioca sold today, tapioca pearls are the most widely available and commonly sold.
