Can eat tapioca in high cholesterol level?
AnswerAre you thinking of tapioca pudding or just plain tapioca? The cholesterol content is different for each. With tapioca pudding it depends on if whole, 2%, 1%, or skim milk is used in the recipe as well as if egg yolks are used or just egg whites. In ready-made packages of pudding, I would suggest looking at the label for cholesterol content. The cholesterol is good. Too high is bad and would harm your body more than benefit it.For plain tapioca (the dry pearls) there is no cholesterol. If you are concerned about cholesterol, I suggest buying the dry pearls and then using skim milk and egg whites in your preparation. This will decrease the amount of cholesterol in the final product.
Can babies eat tapioca pudding?
I would say yes. I am not a Dr but babies can have egg whites after 1 year old and the texture is not much different then say vanilla pudding or yogurt. Tapioca has been used in traditional baby food as a thickener for years. if you read the label on Gerber banana's you will learn that they used this forever. HOMEMADE Tapioca prepared with no sugar and coconut milk is great for spoon fed babies. IN MY OPINION.
