Overview
Tapioca is a typical Brazilian dish made from the starch extracted from cassava, locally known as polvilho. This versatile food is particularly popular in the North and Northeast of Brazil, where it is consumed as a light breakfast option or snack. To prepare it, the polvilho is sifted onto a heated griddle until it forms a thin layer, which is then filled with a variety of ingredients such as coalho cheese, grated coconut, condensed milk, banana, or other sweet and savory fillings. Tapioca is appreciated not only for its simplicity and mild flavor but also for being gluten-free, catering to different dietary preferences.
