About Carrefour tapioca pudding

Tapioca pudding is a creamy dessert made primarily from tapioca pearls, milk, sugar, and sometimes eggs, with its origin traced to South American indigenous communities where cassava root (the source of tapioca) has been cultivated for centuries. A staple in many cuisines globally, it has become a popular dish in Western and Asian desserts. Tapioca is a carbohydrate-rich food derived from cassava root, making tapioca pudding high in energy and low in fat. While it is relatively low in protein, tapioca pudding provides quick-digesting calories and minor amounts of calcium and iron, depending on the milk used in preparation.
