Amafil Hydrated Tapioca (Tapioca Hidratada) 500g

Amafil Hydrated Tapioca (Tapioca Hidratada) 500g is the ultimate shortcut to Brazil’s most popular gluten-free breakfast and street food. Amafil is one of Brazil’s most prestigious flour brands, and this "hydrated" version removes the difficult step of moistening the starch yourself—it is ready to pour directly into the pan.

Product Overview

• Ready-to-Use: Unlike dry tapioca flour, this is already hydrated with the perfect amount of water. There is no soaking, straining, or waiting required.
• Naturally Gluten-Free: Made from 100% cassava starch (manioc), it is a clean-label alternative to wheat flour, containing zero fat, zero cholesterol, and zero sodium.
• The "Magic" Texture: When heated in a dry pan, the grains "melt" together to form a flexible, slightly chewy pancake that doesn't require any oil or butter to cook.

How to Prepare (The Brazilian Way)

1. Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat (no oil needed).
2. Sift or Pour: Spread approximately 5 heaping tablespoons (100g) of the Amafil dough evenly across the pan.
3. Flip & Fill: Once the "pancake" holds together and lifts from the bottom (about 1–2 minutes), flip it. Add your filling, fold in half, and serve hot.

Key Culinary Uses

• Savoury: Fill with sliced cheese (Queijo de Vaca Curado), ham, scrambled eggs, or shredded chicken (frango desfiado).
• Sweet: The most traditional sweet filling is grated coconut and condensed milk, but it is also excellent with Nutella or fruit.
• Health Focus: Often used as a post-workout meal or a light breakfast because it is easily digestible and provides a quick energy boost.
