Pudding with Tapioca Pearls - Vanilla Tapioca Pudding

In the kitchen there is always something to learn! In a very modern shop of organic and ethnic products, my attention was captured by the tapioca pearls! Tapioca is a starch extracted from Cassava, a particular tuber typical of Central America, which resembles with potato. Starch is often used as a thickener in soups and soups and is distinguished by its extraordinary digestibility. Tapioca pearls are obtained by passing the starch through a sieve under pressure. And today we will use tapioca pearls to prepare a vanilla pudding (tapioca pudding).
