What is tapioca flour? Where to buy it?
Tapioca flour is a type of flour made from cassava root, round in shape, and has a cloudy white color. When cooked, it turns translucent white and has a sweet taste with a certain chewy texture when eaten.
Tapioca flour is commonly used as an ingredient in desserts and sweet dishes to create a thicker, richer, and more appealing texture for the food.
You can easily find tapioca flour at grocery stores, convenience stores, and places that sell baking ingredients. Additionally, you can purchase it at TasteVN supermarkets nationwide or buy online through the website bachhoaxanh.com.

How to Choose Fresh Bananas
- Natural ripe bananas usually have both green and yellow fruit; you should prioritize selecting bananas that ripen evenly both on the skin and at the stem.
- Choose bananas that have a distinct natural aroma, with the skin of ripe bananas being yellow with black-brown spots, and when gently squeezed, you can feel the softness of the banana flesh.
- Avoid buying bananas that are too large, with uniformly beautiful yellow skin, and if you find bananas that are ripe but feel hard instead of soft when touched.
How to choose taro that is not fibrous
- You should choose round taro roots, egg-shaped with a rough outer skin, having many roots and still covered in dirt.
- It is advisable to buy taro roots that feel light when held, as these have less water inside, a high starch content, and will be creamy and delicious when boiled.
- Avoid buying taro roots that have smooth outer skin and few dents, as these are usually not good.
