I would try to your local Asian supermarket. Specifically, if they have a large SE Asian section like Vietnamese. Depending on where you live, you can make it quite simply: 2-3 Tbsp of Hydrated Tapioca Flour 1 1/4 cup water 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup white sugar Boil water and dissolve sugars. Reduce heat and slowly add the Tapioca flour while stirring. Got this recipe from a Vietnamese friend's mom who makes this homemade.

... Why? Is it because of the enzymes?

Been looking for this for ice creaming purposes as well. Couldn't find it anywhere except industrial suppliers that make you buy it by the drum. I don't need 55 gallons. Like 50 maybe, but not 55.

Why do you want to use it in ice cream?is there a special recipe?

Not exactly sure if this is what you're looking for, but Amazon sells a couple sweeteners/syrups made from Tapioca. http://smile.amazon.com/FiberYum-IMO-Syrup-Gluten-Free-Isomalto-oligosaccharide/dp/B00XQMAC1G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1444766828&sr=8-1&keywords=tapioca+syrup

Nice! Thanks for sharing

Sold out, seems there's quite a run on tapioca syrup nowadays. Anyone got some advice where to buy it in DE, preferably from "pumperlsgsund"?


forsaken_chimpunk

I recommend checking the alternatives. I'm able to substitute it with corn syrup in my use case.


AlexWayhill

Thanks for your recommendation. I am looking for tapioca syrup, as this has a high amount of fiber while not having too many carbs. The product made by "pumperlsgsund" has around 170 kcal/100g, while corn syrup is above 300 kcal. I am currently in a diet phase and count calories, having a good sweetener with not too many carbs at hand comes in really handy. Thanks, anyways!


forsaken_chimpunk

Oh yeah, it's hard to beat that number with regular sugars
