- Product Background
- AKFP’s Organic Native Tapioca Starch adds a versatile, clean-label ingredient to our portfolio of specialized cassava-based and organic ingredients.
- Derived from the root of the cassava plant, this native, not modified, starch is certified gluten-free, and is paleo and vegan friendly. This unique starch is also grain-free, nut-free and non-GMO verified, making it an essential addition to the food developer’s better-for-you and clean-label toolbox.
- AKFP’s Organic Native Tapioca Starch is effective as a thickener, filler, binder and stabilizer in baked goods, extruded snacks, frozen foods, dry mixes, soups, sauces, gravies and other products. It is a natural product made in facilities that only process tapioca, or cassava, products without chemicals. AKFP assures that its ingredients meet the high levels of quality and food safety demanded by the food industry.
- Others in the food industry will refer to this as organic tapioca flour. AKFP has long espoused that tapioca starch is not a ’tapioca flour’. The flour that is derived from cassava roots, from which the tapioca starch is extracted and processed, is more appropriately referred to as cassava flour. AKFP is proud to be the pioneer and market leader for a cassava flour that has been adapted to modern baking and snack applications. The company also sells in limited quantities an organic cassava flour.
