• Use a sharpener to grind the tapioca into small fibers as shown. If you don’t have a sharpener, you can cut the tapioca into small pieces and put it in a blender.
• Put the grated tapioca into a clean cloth bag, squeeze out the water , let the tapioca dry . 1kg of tapioca after preliminary processing and squeezing water will have about 440 – 450g of dried tapioca fibers.
• Tapioca juice you put in a bowl, let stand for 1-2 hours to settle down, pour in clear water and only take the starch.
