What is Tapioca Flour?

Have you ever asked the question "What is tapioca flour?". We hear it all the time! We also frequently get asked "Where does it come from?" or "What makes it different from white, wheat, or other flours/starches available at the grocery store?"

Tapioca flour is one of the main ingredients in Brazi Bites making our products naturally gluten-free, and most of all giving our bread a fantastic texture.

Tapioca flour (or tapioca starch) is harvested from the root of the cassava plant (yuca/manioc which is native to Asia and South America). It has characteristics similar to a potato. It's then grounded into a powder form.




Tapioca flour has the ability to maintain a gel-like form when frozen and cooked with, which is one of the reasons the insides of Brazi Bites are so soft and fluffy!  Other flours use different plants such as grains, beans and often go through chemical or enriching processes. Many of them contain gluten whereas tapioca flour doesn't.

Tapioca isn't limited to only Brazilian Cheese Bread. You can use it to make tapioca pearls, puddings, fufu (an African staple), yuca buns/bread, and more!

We make Brazi Bites with only the finest natural ingredients. All of our ingredients (including tapioca flour) are gluten free and Non-GMO. Tapioca flour helps us achieve that rich flavor and cheesy texture!

What are you thoughts on tapioca flour? Do you use it for cooking in your own kitchen?

Leave a comment below and be sure to follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest for more news and updates!

Super Bowl Party Appetizer!

This week we're sharing our favorite party snacks to get you inspired for Super Bowl.

Here are some of our favorite ways to enjoy Brazi Bites as an appetizer. Who's excited for some seriously delicious game day grub??

PS - make sure to save yourself a few pieces before they make it to the crowd!

FOR THE BACON LOVERS 

Cheesy Bacon Appetizers - created by one of our favorite bloggers - Wendy from Around My Family Table. You can try this recipe with BB Original or Bacon. See full recipe here.



FOR THE MEATBALL FANS 

Cut Brazi Bites Original in half and stuff with meatballs. This is a big crowd pleaser!



FOR YOUR VEGETARIAN FRIENDS 

Cut BB Original or JalapeƱo in half and stuff with veggie burger. This pic shows Brazi Bites Original with Chez Marie WOW Mushroom Veggie Patty. Yum! Chez Marie is also a Portland company (yay!). They make delicious patties using only real ingredients. Available in the freezer section of most stores that carry BB.



 FOR THE KIDS IN THE PARTY 

Serve BB in paper cones so kids (and adults) can carry them around popcorn style. These cones typically fit three pieces in each but you can make them as big or as small as you want. Serve one of each flavor per cone or mix and match to keep'em guessing!

Here we're using a vintage wood bottle crate to serve the cones. Fits them perfectly.

Check out this quick YouTube video on how to make easy paper cones. One sticker on the outer side instead of two works just as well and makes it even easier!
