What it is
Organic tapioca syrup solids are a sweetener made from the starch of the cassava root, also known as the tapioca plant. The starch is broken down into sugars and then dried into a powder or granular form.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use organic tapioca syrup solids primarily as a sweetener and bulking agent in foods. They can also help with browning and texture. You'll find them in baked goods, frozen desserts, and confectioneries.
Health notes
Organic tapioca syrup solids are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Like other sweeteners, excessive consumption can contribute to calorie intake. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various tapioca-derived ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. Tapioca is derived from the cassava root, which is not one of the nine major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
