A little more info: I had actually filmed a test of tapioca starch as a thickener, but cut it out of the video - both for time reasons and because I plan to do a comparison video of multiple thickeners to see if there is a keto substitute that works as well as corn starch. SPOILER ALERT: tapioca starch doesn't seem to have any liquid thickening properties. Also, when I filmed day two of this video yesterday, my ketones were at .7. Today, they are at 1.3. So besides not affecting my blood glucose, there was also no negative impact on my ketones.
Thank you for all your research. I am so grateful for you and your amazing channel. BTW can't make a donut to save my life and crave house donuts saved me 😁
Check this out and do a test --- you tube search ---keto cream cheese banana bread ketoserts ----- I suggest using native forest canned coconut milk instead of almond milk or heavy cream
I think we should all give you a continuous standing ovation. For taking one for the team, in the name of science, in spite of the negative effectsTo your blood sugar, and your inflammation. Love the videos, and love your channel! Keep up the good work.
Thanks for doing the experiment. In Chinese cooking, we use Tapioca starch just like corn starch. If Tapioca starch is Keto compliance, it will open up a lot of possibilities for crunchy food: You can coat chicken wings with tapioca flour to make it crispy, or possibility of making tempura batter for deep fry.
But this one is not the average tapioca starch. The traditional type is full of netcarbs, I searched and this resistant type is the double or triple the price of the original one
I can’t believe how much you do for our keto community. There’s no one else out there who does such extensive, comprehensive and thoughtful testing and analysis. Thank you for all that you do!
I want to say first that I love the science behind your videos. It's reminiscent of Alton Brown's Good eats. I hope you take that as a compliment. Secondly you really do take one for the team in your videos when you are testing your glucose levels. When I eat off plan and my glucose goes up I feel like excrement! You keep doing what you do and I'll keep watching!
This is such a valuable video! You are so willing to "walk the line" with your dieting experiments. I would be wrecked if I did tests on myself the way you do. I have to either contain myself or cut loose because it is such a struggle for me to recover and get my diet back on track if get thrown out of ketosis. Which is why I love it when you conduct tests. I put a lot of value in your tests and your results.
Interestingly, my ketones yesterday (when I filmed day two), my ketones were at .7. Today, they are 1.3. So not only did these not have any appreciable impact on my blood glucose, they also didn't have any affect on my ketones. Bonus!
Interesting experiment. So glad we have you to blaze the trail! I’ll definitely be watching for updated info after you try other brands of tapioca starch. Could be a game-changer, no?
Before I went keto I was gluten free. I made a flat bread with coconut flour and tapioca flour. My son dub it the best pb and j sandwich he had ever had. I think it was heavenly fans recipe before she was keto. I may gave to get some tapioca starch to see what i can do, at least try to recreate my sons favorite peanut butter and jelly.. he isnt keto.. Thank you for this.
“I’m going to make a couple of Chaffles,” I knew it! I might love my dash mini more than my car and I knew what you were going to say. We love you Steve!!!
I'm a ketovore, have been for about 8 months now. I eat OMAD and I eagerly await your vids. Steve, thank you for joining me on my journey. I can't wait to see your next podcast. 🥰
I bought the Lakanto brownie mix at Costco, got it home, read the label and thought "uh-oh". First ingredient is tapioca fiber. Did some internet research and thought it might be a no-go. I don't know if it's the same stuff as resistant tapioca starch, but I figured I'd better test myself. Ate one brownie fasted, and at the 30 minute mark my blood glucose was actually lower than before eating it. At 2 hrs my BC was 10 points higher than at the start, so I was relieved. Incidentally, I made the brownies with olive oil instead of coconut oil (we were traveling) and they were WAY too greasy that way. Thanks for doing this vid. Interested in knowing how labeling works for this stuff...whether "tapioca fiber" in the Lakanto brownies is the same stuff you tested in the video.
@@barbarachen1428 I don't understand the exact mechanism, but I do know that berberine and metformin activate the AMPK pathway, which among other things signals the liver to release less glucose to the bloodstream. I'd have to look into it more, but given that the recommended dose is 1-1.5g a day, I think taking 3g at once was just not a good idea
Thanks for the review. I would have been hesitant to get bread made from Tapioca resistance starch. Costco now sells Keto bread using resistant Tapioca starch!
Thank you so much for being our keto science guinea pig! I've really been enjoying some of the new "keto" breads and it is so helpful to know its probably ok for my sometimes dirty/sometimes clean keto lifestyle.
Really interested in the possibilities of this for baking! I’ve been making quick breads and cakes with Lupina flour lately and they have been great. My non-keto peeps can’t tell the difference between these and the real deal. No other flours used, just Lupina brand lupin flour! If this tapioca flour turns out to be keto friendly I think we may have a keto baking game changer between these two flours. Thanks so much!
I encourage you to try the Aviate brand of lupini flour when your run out of Lupina. I liked Lupina brand, but I LOVE the stuff from Aviate. I'll definitely be trying a blend of the lupini flour with the tapioca starch to see how it bakes up.
@@SeriousKeto if you're looking for a great keto thickener, I've been making a roux with 1/4 cup lupin flour and 3T fat then slowly adding 32 oz liquid. At the end of cooking, I drizzle in 1/8 t xanthan gum that has been dissolved in about 1T of olive oil. It comes out fantastic! I've been making beef stew this way, and hubs can't tell the difference from non keto gravy. I feel like I've found the holy grail. :)
Wow. This has me intrigued. I think I missed the Lupini cookie video because I can’t find it. Now I’m confused on which one to try. Thanks for sharing.
My favorite recipe post gluten free, pre Keto was Brazilian cheese bread; little cheesy popovers made with tapioca starch. I miss them. Oh boy, is subbing in resistant tapioca starch could bring these back into my life, it would be very exciting! Thanks for the super interesting content!!
I love your commitment to trying these products out for us. If things turn out well with the additional testing, I would certainly be interested in trying the resistant tapioca starch myself. Thanks again for being the guinea pig for the rest of us, and I'm happy you didn't have any inflammation issues because of it.
Wow bud ... way to take one for the team!!! You're a good man. I wonder if something like Tapioca Resistant Starch could conceivably be to make a roux for gumbo? Man, we gotta find something, I'm craving some good gumbo!!!
I've heard that whey protein isolate can be a good substitute for VWG as a dry protein in baked goods... I know it does wonderful things for the crumb of my almond flour-based ricotta cake. Something to try, maybe?
One more thing😆 You mentioned in a recent podcast about viewership being lower. I commented on that video that i was notified just after it went live. This video, however, I only got the notification today. Wanted to let you know if you wanted to factor that into your data.
Awesome. Been looking at some keto friendly products and seen Tapioca starch and have avoided them because of it. Might do some experiments of my own now 😉
Ok so now I’m curious about cassava flour. Since tapioca comes from the cassava root, but the difference is that the cassava flour is the whole root dried and ground which means it has more fiber...whereas the tapioca starch comes from the starch being rinsed from the pulp and then evaporated till they have just the starch. I would really be curious to see your glucose reaction to cassava flour.
That could give a serious boost to quite a few of the Paleo foods sales. Siete Grain Free products, Birch Benders Paleo mix, Late July grain free chips, etc. I could tortilla chips again! (without having to make my own).
Thanks for another informative podcast. I just used whey isolate protein as breading on chicken nuggets and it was great. Since I do not test or check my BG I do not know impact.
🤣 I was never into science in school, but watching all of your experiments (and testing) are so much more interesting and not to mention fun! Keep them coming👍🏾
I only decided to try that pizza crust after watching your video and Have to say you rock! My glucose levels barely increased and I’m still in a state of ketosis. :)
Happy Easter to you and your family. God Bless you and thank you for days upon days of tireless research you do for all of us so that we can live a healthy and happier life. There's no greater gift.
I make a lot of goodie with tapioca starch, I add extra things to add extra nutrition to it...moringa powder, pampkim seeds,sunflower seeds,. You dont need to use any gum to it, the tapioca itself have lots of gummy like structure if you add hot oil or melted butter and iodized SALT, tapioca starch can bind to iodine and you may because efficient in iodine. Dont consume it every day!
My take away today! I can make chaffles with cream cheese! My current favorites are still mozzarella and the blanco mexican cheese! They both hold any flavors I add very well! I’m trying cream cheese next!
I’ve wondered about arrow root starch. I use it as a thicker because in comparison to things like corn starch or flour a teaspoon of arrow root does the job almost instantly.
Hey Steve! Loving the white bread chauffles recipe. Making a quadruple batch right now! Easy peasy with the four waffle dash with the side wells for overflow. Can't believe I found it on Amazon! It makes the little round waffle just like the mini!
Thank you so much for the video. I recently did a blood sugar test on my favorite chocolate choc zero hazelnut and it spiked 30 points! Ugh i’ll do another test but that’s sad for me everybody’s different.
this is really cool. I wonder if adding a bit of vital wheat gluten can make it more bread like. I guess not great for those who are against wheat, but ive had it on keto, doest seem to give me inflammation or a blood sugar spike. would be cool to see if tapioca starch with maybe some vital wheat gluten will have a reaction to yeast. Maybe make bread crust.
I know I’m a year late, lol, but acacia gum with tapioca is used for a more pliable texture in gluten free baking. I’ve been using acacia fiber for a bit, testing it out in my kother keto baked goods. It’s also a prebiotic. I really liked the Scotty’s mix but due to price want to make my own, was looking to buy but also slightly concerned about “resistant” tapioca starch and it brought me here. I’m excited to try making my own mix. Thanks for all your testing 🙂
Psyllium Husk would make it more bread-like I think, I use it with Wonder Flour/Lupin Flour for chaffles and loaves. I like to put the psyllium husk in my grinder and make it finer so they don't come out gritty.
Hey Mike thanks for that tip with the addition grinding. I love taking advantage of the psyllium husk powder but even thought it looks finely ground I always feel like I have small sand in my food. If I wanted that I’d move back to the beach...
I actually have used it successfully to thicken a stir fry sauce, but it didn't work for soup. Potato starch and arrowroot work great for gravy and soups.
I've made peanut butter cookies with peanut butter powder to replace flour. I still add the peanut butter. Taste is great. I have found liquid allulose keeps them cherry and not crumbly.
@@SeriousKeto You can use your peanut butter flour mentioned @1:15. Have a peanut butter cookie on the side until you get there with your hot dog bun. And, you will get there! We are all behind you for the illusive keto hot dog bun.
I want to thank you so much! I get very excited when there is a new product to share with us. I love your UA-cam Channel. I look forward to baking using it.
Fantastic video! Hit all my questions. Plus, you truly took one for the team. Yipes - straight flour/ water!! Great info, I'm inspired to experiment, well done! I'm going to have to look up in my gastronomy book about its fat to powder properties. Very interesting. Love gastronomy/ chemistry.
I love these testing videos. I'd be very curious on your ketone levels also. I really wish they had a continuous meter that checked glucose and ketones. I have had low glucose levels with some products yet my ketones have changed so strange.
Whole milk ricotta is a really good option for fast and easy chaffles, I prefer it over cream cheese. All of my sweet chaffle recipes use ricotta, and I've also used it for soft hot dog bun chaffles.
@@barbarachen1428 the simplest form is just an egg and about 2 tbsp of ricotta, but can be seasoned any way you like. Just the egg and ricotta will have an internal texture similar to an omelet. I've used Italian seasoning, which goes well with sausages, and I've tried chili powder for a chili-less chili dog. The dash mini sized round chaffle is a little small for some hot dogs, but I've gotten used to it.
I've got to admit, you do keep my undivided attention when you play the Guinea Pig! Very interesting. Another resistant starch ingredient that peaks my curiosity, though I've never heard you mention it, is green banana powder. Have you tried it?
Steve, i read in one of my gluten free cookbooks that psyllium seed powder added to a bread recipe gives it more of that gluten like texture. Haven't tried it though.
A little more info:

@@barbarachen1428 the simplest form is just an egg and about 2 tbsp of ricotta, but can be seasoned any way you like. Just the egg and ricotta will have an internal texture similar to an omelet. I've used Italian seasoning, which goes well with sausages, and I've tried chili powder for a chili-less chili dog. The dash mini sized round chaffle is a little small for some hot dogs, but I've gotten used to it.
I've got to admit, you do keep my undivided attention when you play the Guinea Pig! Very interesting. Another resistant starch ingredient that peaks my curiosity, though I've never heard you mention it, is green banana powder. Have you tried it?
I have not.
Steve, i read in one of my gluten free cookbooks that psyllium seed powder added to a bread recipe gives it more of that gluten like texture. Haven't tried it though.
It can definitely add chewiness
This was very interesting! I’m looking forward to your next video and new info!!! Have a wonderful Easter!
Thanks. You too.
Love your videos, thanks for being the Guinea pig
