Hints

Tapioca is basically a root starch derived from the cassava, or yuca plant.

It's often used to thicken commercial soups and sweeten the flavor of baked goods, and it makes the rather famous tapioca pudding.

The plant is native to South America and the West Indies, where its thick, fibrous roots are used in a variety of forms: bread flour, laundry starch, an alcoholic brew, and of course, tapioca pudding.

Don't try making your own tapioca at home, apparently Cassava roots have traces of cyanide in them!
