In recent years, the trend of using natural ingredients to support health has become increasingly popular. One of the most talked-about ingredients is cassava starch – a traditional product found in many Vietnamese kitchens. Not only is it used in cooking, but cassava starch also offers various digestive health benefits that many may not be aware of. So, what exactly are the benefits of cassava starch for the digestive system? Let’s explore in detail below.
- Cassava starch (also known as tapioca starch) is a white, fine powder extracted from cassava roots through several steps: washing, grinding, filtering, and drying. The result is a pure starch product that is gluten-free, easy to digest, and cooling in nature.
- Cassava starch is commonly used in making sweet soups, cooling drinks, cakes, and even in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.

Cassava starch offers several digestive benefits thanks to its natural properties, ease of absorption, and non-irritating nature:
- Soothes the digestive system:
Cassava starch has a soft, smooth texture that’s easy to digest, making it suitable for people with sensitive digestion such as young children, the elderly, or those recovering from illness.
- Helps relieve mild constipation:
When diluted in warm water, cassava starch can act as a mild natural laxative, helping to relieve constipation and soften stools.
- Reduces bloating and indigestion:
Cassava starch helps soothe the stomach lining and intestinal tract, which can reduce bloating and discomfort after meals.
- Easy to digest, gentle on the stomach:
Being gluten-free with a simple starch structure, cassava starch does not place stress on the digestive system like more complex starches do.
To maximize the digestive benefits of cassava starch, consider the following tips:
- Mix 1–2 teaspoons of cassava starch with warm water and drink it in the morning or after meals.
- Avoid drinking it on an empty stomach or with cold water, as it may cause stomach discomfort.
- You can combine it with ginger water or honey to enhance its warming effect and reduce indigestion.
- Do not overuse: Limit to a maximum of 10g of cassava starch per day.
- Avoid consuming raw starch (mixed with cold water); it should be mixed with warm water or cooked thoroughly.
- People with specific digestive conditions (such as peptic ulcers or irritable bowel syndrome) should consult a doctor before using cassava starch regularly.
