Tapioca Recheada - Brazilian tapioca crepe
Tapioca Recheada is a traditional Brazilian crepe made from hydrated tapioca flour (goma de tapioca), which is spread onto a hot pan where the starch granules bond together to form a thin sheet. It is then filled with various fillings: cheese, ham, coconut, condensed milk, or chocolate. Tapioca originates from the cuisine of indigenous peoples of northeastern Brazil and is naturally gluten-free.
- Tapioca is naturally gluten-free as it is made from cassava starch.
- Indigenous peoples of Brazil used tapioca as a staple food thousands of years before the arrival of Europeans.
- Preparation requires only hydrated tapioca flour and a pan, with no other ingredients needed for the dough.
