    Mmm! These sound so good! We’re so used to hearing just about tapioca pudding, but those other recipes sound just fantastic. How strange that tapioca is gluten free. With all this craze about celiac’s disease and gluten intolerance, you’d think tapioca would have made a bigger rise in fad foods as of late. Thanks for the recieps, I’m really looking forward to trying them.
