Cassava, also known as mandioca in Portuguese, is the plant from which tapioca comes from. It is native to South America and the West Indies and is a staple food enjoyed by approximately 800 million people around the world. After the Spanish and the Dutch brought the cassava plant to Asia in the 19th century, tapioca quickly became a popular ingredient in local dishes. Thailand is now the country that produces and exports the most tapioca-based goods in the world.
Tapioca is frequently used as a thickener in baked goods and in the preparation of pudding and bubble tea in the United States. If you've tried bubble teas before, you probably love boba, the chewy tapioca balls which the popular drink is named after. Even though Taiwan is undoubtedly the world's boba capital, the United States is quickly catching up to it as the popularity of bubble tea continues to skyrocket. In fact, the bubble tea market in the United States was valued at over $2 billion in 2019 and is expected to double by 2027.
