Tapioca Syrup

A food ingredient produced from the cassava tuber or yuca root as it is also known. The tuber provides the base to make Tapioca products, such as pellets (pearls), flour, flakes, or the Tapioca Syrup. High in starch, Tapioca Syrup is commonly used in the production of other foods or as a replacement for corn syrup in baked goods. Tapioca Syrup is used to add sweetness, binding or texture to beverages, baked goods, table syrups, frozen desserts, and candies. When used as a binding agent, Tapioca helps to keep foods such as meats from drying out after they are processed.

Tapioca pellets are commonly used as a thickening agent in pie and tart fillings or in soups, sauces and gravies. When cooking with Tapioca products, do not overcook any items with Tapioca as they become starchy and overly stickly.

Hilangkan Racun Pada Daun Ketela Pohon

Kandungan protein daun singkong ternyata sangat tinggi. Secara umum, dalam berat yang sama dengan berat telur, berat protein (nabati) yang dikandung daun singkong lebih kurang sama dengan yang dikandung telur. Hasilpenelitian terhadap 150 jenis ketela pohon yang diteliti, jenis-jenis ketela yang kandungan protein dalam daunnya tergolong paling rendah, pun masih mengandung lebih dari 60% macam asam amino esensial. Namun, daun ketela pohon ternyata juga mengandung racun, yang dalam jumlah besar cukup berbahaya. Racun ketela yang selama ini telah kita kenal baik adalah sianida, yang bila mengkonsumsi pada jumlah besar akan mengakibatkan kepala pening-pening, mual, perut terasa perih, badan gemetar, bahkan pingsan. Namun keberadaan zat kimia ini pada jumlah yang membahayakan hanya terdapat pada ketela-ketela yang memang termasuk ketela berracun saja.

Jenis racun yang selalu ada dalam daun semua jenis ketelah adalah linamarin. Racun ini paling banyak terdapat di kulit ketela, kemudian di kulit batang, dan terakhir di daun. Untungnya, kulit ketela dan batang belum `lumrah' dikonsumsi masyarakat kita. Dalam tubuh, racun ini mengikat lemak, baik yang ada dalam darah meupun dalam daging.
Cara paling aman memasak daun ketela pohon adalah dengan meremas-remas atau memotong-motong daun ketela sebelum dimasak, biarkan selama 5 - 10 menit agar agak layu, lalu direbus dan tambahkan minyak kelapa, bawang putih, ikan, daging, atau telur seberat satu per dua puluh sampai satu per tiga puluh berat daun ketela yang dimasak. Dengan cara tersebut bukan hannya menghilangkan racun, tetapi akan menambah nutrisi juga.

Semoga bermanfaat.
