Information
Tapioca syrup is a sweetener derived from the starch of cassava root, similar to other liquid sugars like corn syrup or agave nectar. It has a mild, neutral flavor and is often used as a substitute for sugar or high-fructose corn syrup in various recipes. Here are some common uses for tapioca syrup:
1. Baking
Sweetener in baked goods: Tapioca syrup can replace sugar or other liquid sweeteners like honey or maple syrup in recipes for cookies, cakes, and muffins. It helps retain moisture, making baked goods softer and more chewy.
Sugar-free or low glycemic baking: Since tapioca syrup has a lower glycemic index compared to refined sugar, it can be a choice for those looking to reduce blood sugar spikes.
