Tapioca - free or synned

[violet_plum]

Hi,

Does tapioca come under free foods on a healthy extra day or does it need to be synned??

I think its 5 syns per 28g dry weight.

Thanks S

Got this off the website if it is any help:

Basic/Non Branded Foods Grains, Tapioca 28g raw

5 Syns on Extra Easy

Original 5 Syns

Green 5 Syns

​

If it isn't listed in the free food bit in your book then you would have to syn it

Thanks I saw that on the web site. I will check my book when I get home

I have my book with me today & I have just had a look but it is not listed in there - it might be worth giving SW a call as pudding rice is free on green so I don't understand why Tapioca wouldn't be - it is just a dried grain as far I remember

OK thanks for looking. No I don't understand why it wouldn't be. I guess it must be because its made from a plant root rather than being a rice grain.

I will try and find out some more

if it is free please let me know - I used to love Tapioca, I had forgotten about it really till I saw your thread
