Tapioca chip

Tapioca chips are a snack food made from thin wafers of deep-fried cassava root.

It is commonly found in South India, and Sri Lanka, as well as in Indonesia where it is known as kripik singkong (cassava chips), and in Malaysia known as 'kerepek ubi'.

Common variants include the non-spicy and spicy (red chili pepper powder[5] and other spices added).

Tapioca chips and pellets are also produced, sold, and traded in bulk as a commodity, and are used to make starch, alcohol, and biofuel.

[9][10][11] The product is also used as animal feed in Kerala and Madras, India, and for this purpose, processing typically involves only the removal of the outer skin of the tubers.
