TAPIOCA MALTODEXTRIN

Tapioca Maltodextrin is a cereal based refined powder that absorbs oil it is commonly used in the production of stock cubes we use it in the kitchen to produce dry powders from flavoured oils that dissolve in the mouth. One way in which it is used is the curry powder in the assiette of seafood starter which gives you the mild sweet curry flavour in a powder form much removed from the harsh to eat powder the oil is made from a clever little trick people don't expect when they read the menu. Maltodextrin is made from tapioca and is a wholly natural ingredient despite the artificial technical sounding name and is safe to eat for vegetarians and celeaics. We also use maltodextrin to give tuiles an extra crispness and to make truffle dust from truffle oil which you can sprinkle over a dish without over powering the flavours with truffle.
