FIL: Isang uri ng arina (starch) na mula sa kamoteng-kahoy (cassava). Karaniwan itong ginagawang maliliit at bilog na sangkap (pearls) sa mga palamig at panghimagas.
EN: tapioca
The chewy, bouncy balls of happiness in your milk tea. The OG 'sago'. Before the boba craze took over the world, there was good old tapioca in taho and ginumis.
From Portuguese, from Tupi 'tipi'óka'.
In the Philippines, it's often used interchangeably with 'sago', although they are technically from different plant sources (sago from palm, tapioca from cassava).
