Tapioca

Product Overview:
Tapioca, also known as Cassava or Shimul Alu, is a tropical root vegetable that serves as a major source of carbohydrates. Known for its thick, brown woody skin and snowy white interior, it has a unique nutty and earthy flavor. Sourced from organic farms, our tapioca is selected for its firmness and freshness. It is a staple for those seeking energy-rich food that is light on the stomach and completely free from gluten.
