PURPOSE:To produce a pearl tapioca food resistant to the deformation and cracking caused by the heat in forming, having suppressed water-absorption, keeping the shape-retainability and elasticity and useful for soup, etc., by adding water to a mixture of powdery tapioca starch and polysaccharide, processing under specific condition and forming the product. CONSTITUTION:This pearl tapioca food is produced by mixing preferably 60-90wt.% of powdery tapioca starch with preferably 40-10wt.% of a polysaccharide such as mannan or gelan gum, adding water to the mixture, converting the mixture to a paste under heating, forming to a prescribed granular form, boiling in hot water and forming to gelatinous form. |
