Tapioca Syrup is a
healthful and allergen-free alternative to other sweeteners.
Substitute tapioca syrup in place of sugar, honey, corn syrup, maple syrup or
molasses.
Try this in energy bars, muffins, cookies, fruit salads,
smoothies, --it's great in just about everything.
Its flavor is very neutral and is well suited to being
flavored with natural flavorings to make your own syrups.
Tapioca Syrup is commonly used in the production of other foods or as a replacement for corn syrup in baked goods.
Tapioca Syrup is used to add sweetness, binding or texture to beverages, baked goods, table syrups, frozen desserts, and candies.
When used as a binding agent, Tapioca helps to keep foods such as meats from drying out after they are processed.
