Related to Tapioca Starch
Corn Flour
Corn flour (cornstarch) swaps 1:1 for tapioca starch as a thickener. Tapioca sets clearer and glossier and holds up through freezing, while corn flour is cheaper and clouds a sauce a little. Mix either into cold liquid before heating to keep it lump-free. See our Corn Flour converter.
Arrowroot
Arrowroot swaps 1:1 for tapioca starch and also sets clear, so it suits glossy fruit glazes. Arrowroot thickens at a slightly lower temperature and can thin under long cooking, so add it near the end rather than boiling hard. See our Arrowroot converter.
