Tapioca Starch
Ingredient details
- Available
- All flavors
Tapioca starch comes from cassava root. It absorbs water and thickens when heated.

Why it matters
Clusters need to hold together during packing and pouring, then break easily as you eat. A small amount of tapioca helps create that texture.
