What it is

Tapioca fiber is a soluble dietary fiber derived from the starch of the cassava root, commonly known as the tapioca plant. It is produced through a process that isolates and purifies the fiber components from the starch.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add tapioca fiber to foods as a source of dietary fiber and as a sweetener. It can improve the texture and mouthfeel of products and is often found in baked goods, snack bars, and dairy products.

Health notes

Tapioca fiber is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. As a source of soluble fiber, it can contribute to digestive health. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various fibers, but specific evaluations for tapioca fiber's safety and ADI may vary. Evidence suggests that dietary fiber intake is associated with positive health outcomes, but excessive consumption can lead to digestive discomfort.

Allergen info

Tapioca fiber is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
