An undeniable kitchen staple for restaurants and food industry entities alike is tapioca starch, also known as tapioca flour. This incredible starch is extracted from the cassava root, which offers a grain-free alternative to wheat based flours. With the increasing global demand for gluten-free options and variations on classic menu items, tapioca starch is the way to go. There are many other health benefits worth noting and at Novawes, we pride ourselves in being the food importer and supplier of choice.
Assists Healthy Weight Gain
Tapioca starch is a wonderful ingredient that assists healthy weight gain. Due to its high carbohydrate content, combined with low levels of saturated fat and sodium, this offers a great solution to gaining healthy weight without increasing unhealthy cholesterol levels.
Improves Blood Circulation
A valuable mineral component of tapioca starch is iron, and its most important role is in creating new red and white blood cells. As iron is responsible for increased red blood cells, it works in unison with the copper also present in tapioca to do this, and consequently prevent iron deficiencies such as anaemia. With increased red blood cells being produced by the body, internal organ systems will benefit from improved blood circulation to ensure the cells are working and functioning at their best.
Helps Aid Digestion
Tapioca contains high levels of fibre, which helps aid digestion. What improved digestion will do is eliminate constipation, intestinal pain, and bloating. It has a detoxifying action to the intestinal organs and scrapes away excess cholesterol from blood vessels and arteries, reducing the risk for heart disease and as a preventative measure.
Enhances Energy Levels
Thanks to the power supply of carbohydrates present in tapioca starch, energy levels will be elevated without the slump associated with bad fat intake. Sucrose is broken down and converted into usable energy, instead of being stored as fat.
