Cassava Starch is a versatile and widely used food ingredient that is derived from the cassava plant, also known as yucca or manioc. It is a native crop to South America and is now grown in many tropical regions around the world. Cassava starch is a fine white powder that is used as a thickening agent and a binding agent in a variety of food products.
One of the advantages of cassava starch is its ability to withstand high temperatures and acidic conditions, which makes it an ideal ingredient for baking, frying, and other cooking methods. Its neutral flavor profile also makes it a good choice for use in a wide range of sweet and savory applications, from soups and sauces to desserts and beverages.
In addition to its culinary applications, starch is also used in the production of textiles, paper, adhesives, and other industrial products. It can produce a strong and flexible film that is used in the packaging industry to preserve and protect food products, such as snacks and baked goods.
