What You Should Know

You'd spot a 16 oz bag of Bob's Red Mill tapioca flour in the baking aisle or nestled in a gluten-free pantry when thickening sauces, making puddings, or baking chewier cookies and cakes. It gives a practical, wholesome, slightly nostalgic pantry-staple vibe — neutral and dependable rather than indulgent. As a single-ingredient refined starch (extracted and milled from cassava), it yields a silky, powdery texture and is processed but not ultraprocessed.
