My sweet tapioca starch arrived for my cheese bread! Thank you
I would like to be able to buy more than 2.
The tapioca starch gave me the ability to make cheese breads that I love! Reminding me of our homeland! Oh Minas Gerais!
Product well packaged and of good quality.
everything came put perfectly
I can't live without it! Perfect!
Since I make a lot of cheese bread, I can't live without it! This tapioca starch has a great yield. It's a little more moist, which requires less egg addition, for those who use it to make cheese bread. It arrived fresh and well packaged.
Today we're having cheese bread . Always made with the best tapioca flour.
