Did you know?
Historically, tapioca was used to craft various traditional fermented beverages in Brazil, such as pajuari, tarubá, tapiocuí, and tiquira. The process for making tarubá involves a complex fermentation of tapioca flatbreads (beijus) layered with banana leaves, allowing the starches to break down into a viscous, molasses-like liquid before being mixed with water and left to ferment into a drink.
