Thank you for your question! We recognize the hazards of under-processed cassava root, and our products (both cassava flour and tapioca flour) have been appropriately processed to make the product harmless. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to our team at customerservice@bobsredmill.com. Thank you!
If it's not a trade secret, would you mind sharing where your cassava root processed? I'm curious about the plant and how it's processed and am considering partnering with my country's government to help local farmers by establishing a local processing plant
Hello, and thank you for your question! Our Tapioca and Cassava Flours are both sourced from Brazil and Thailand. If you have further questions, please let us know! You can reach us at customerservice@bobsredmill.com. Thank you!
Hi Dorothy,
Yes, you can use Tapioca Flour to thicken a sauce, but it does add a shiny, glossy finish which you may or may not want, depending on what you are making. Here is more information:

All of our products benefit from being stored in a cool, dry place while sealed for freshness, either in our standup resealable packages or transferred to airtight containers. Please note we only recommend using our products until the best-by date stamped on each package. This is the range of time in which the product has been determined to be of the best flavor and quality.
Tapioca starch is pure white, which suggests it has been bleached. Surely this would decrease its nutritional value?
Hi Heidi, our Tapioca Flour is not bleached. The starch is extracted and then dried before being ground into a fine powder. The starch is naturally white, but there is no bleaching involved.
Hi Sonya,
Yes, you can grind up the tapioca to make flour but it would just depend on how finely you grind it. Let us know if you experiment!
I’ll be making gluton free ravioli dough for Easter how much tapioca flour do I add to the recipe per cup of gf flour
Hi Catherine! Please email customerservice@bobsredmill.com for assistance.
It is!
I don’t do gluten free, but how would one add tapioca flour to things like pizza crust or breads to enhance flavor and/ or texture? Can you use it to make/enhance pasta?
Hi Marti! Please contact customerservice@bobsredmill.com for more info.
What is Bubble tea mention in the article…Then it mentions Boba tea. Is this something you drink?
Hi there! Bubble tea and Boba tea are interchangeable terms for a type of cold tea you drink. :)
It is! You can find our Tapioca Flour here: https://www.bobsredmill.com/tapioca-flour.html
Is it necessary to cook or bake the tapioca flour before consuming it?
Or can I eat it raw?
Hi - Yes, we recommend baking or heating this product before consuming.
I have a favorite old (3 generation) recipe for Cranberry Bread (actually a loaf cake) from my Grandmother. I am gluten free, what is the amount of tapioca flour to use?
1 cup flour + ??? tapioca (I've tried using almond flour and the cake comes out too moist - heavy & thick). Any suggestions you have would be welcome!
THANK YOU for your forthcoming response! --- Kathe
Hi Kathe - I wouldn't recommend Tapioca Flour as a direct replacement for AP Flour in a quick bread recipe. Instead, I'd recommend using our Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour. This flour blend can be used as a cup for cup replacement for AP Flour in your recipe, no other changes necessary.

Does tapioca flour contain cyanide as in the case of cassava
