Organic Tapioca Flour, also known as Tapioca starch, is the white starch that has been extracted from cassava root. The Cassava plant is a species native to Northern and North-eastern Brazil. This white coloured flour has a smooth texture and mildly sweet flavour. 

Organic Tapioca Flour is very easily digestible and is naturally gluten free. Tapioca is also a good source of calcium which is good for maintaining strong bones and preventing osteoporosis. Tapioca is also a good source of iron which is important for transporting oxygen throughout the body. 

Tapioca Flour is a popular gluten free flour as it helps bind ingredients in gluten-free recipes and improve the texture of baked goods. Tapioca flour is an extremely smooth flour which makes it great for thickening sauces, soups or pie fillings. It is also great used to make food such as pancakes, cookies, bread, cakes and pizza bases.

We recommend storing flour well sealed in the fridge.

Santos Organics is not your average grocery store; it's a not-for-profit social enterprise and environmental charity. Since 1978, we've pioneered the organic wholefood movement. Our stores serve as community hubs where people connect with our team and fellow community members, sharing a journey toward optimal health and wellness. The palpable sense of community forms part of the social and cultural fabric of the Byron Shire and Northern Rivers. Employing over 70 passionate locals, we support hundreds of local farmers, makers, and artisans, promoting the local economy, building community resilience, and strengthening the local food system. Approximately 75% of the food on our shelves is locally grown, produced, or supplied, nurturing interconnectedness and supporting those passionate about clean, wholesome food and sustainable living.

Santos Organics makes conscious shopping easy by sourcing the best organic food and natural lifestyle products. We invest in ethics research through a dedicated Ethics Specialist position, ensuring our products meet rigorous standards before reaching our shelves. Our Care Check process aligns products with our social impact and environmental goals, providing customers with confidence in their purchases. Our commitment to ethical product procurement extends to partnerships with local farmers through initiatives like the Grow the Growers Project. This project helps local farmers establish pathways to the organic retail market, making fresh, locally grown organic food more available and affordable. By incorporating supply agreements and mutual marketing support, we foster connections between customers and the farmers behind their food.

Santos Organics significantly impacts the local community and economy. Over the last three years, our investments in local employment, goods from local suppliers and distributors, rent, and hiring local tradespeople have retained over $26 million within the Northern Rivers. In the past year alone, $5.3 million was circulated back into the local economy through these efforts, supporting over 100 Northern Rivers-based suppliers and distributors. This investment sustains our community's vitality and unique culture. Employing over 70 local team members ensures money stays within the local economy, enhancing opportunities for community interaction and support. Our local suppliers share our vision of promoting creative, sustainable, and healthy product development, strengthening the reputation of the Byron Bay region as a hub for innovation and sustainability.
