Tapioca, raw

Tapioca is a starch extracted from cassava root. The figures here describe raw tapioca in medium pearl, seed pearl, coarse and flake forms. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with 95g per 100g, and has an energy content of 1531 kJ per 100g. It contains little protein or fat, at 0.4g and 0.1g per 100g respectively.

Carbohydrate provides energy for the body. Although raw tapioca contains only trace amounts of sugars, its total carbohydrate content is relevant for people monitoring carbohydrate intake. It also contains very little salt. Cooking with water changes the nutrient content by weight, while added ingredients such as milk or sugar affect the finished dish. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
