The tapioca starch is used to make tender breads, cakes, biscuits, cookies, and other delicacies. Tapioca flakes are used to thicken the filling of pies made with fruits having a high water content.

Some forms of processing, particularly for starch, have developed beyond traditional methods and are now water intensive yet often sited in areas of water scarcity.
