TAPIOCA (a native Brazilian word)

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 413 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SUS-TAV
TAPIOCA (a native Brazilian word) , a farinaceous
food
  sub-stance prepared from
cassava
 
starch
 , the product of the large tuberous roots of the
cassava
  or manioc plant (see CASSAVA). Cassava
starch
 , separated from the fibrous and nitrogenous constituents of the roots, is spread, while in a moist
condition
 , upon
iron
  plates, and with
constant
  stirring exposed to such heat as causes a partial rupture of the starch granules, which
agglomerate
  into irregular pellets, becoming hard and trans-lucent when cooled. In this
condition
  the starch forms the
tapioca
  of
commerce
 , a
light
 , pleasant and digestible
food
 , much used in puddings and as a thickener for soups.
