Insider’s Medha Imam went to TAP NYC to try beijú for the first time. The dish is made from tapioca, a starch extracted from cassava root, and is often referred to as a tapioca crêpe. It’s commonly eaten for breakfast in Brazil. The health-conscious food has been a staple among indigenous people from the northeast region of the Amazon forest for hundreds of years. Today, it is an integral part of Brazilian cuisine and is typically eaten with sweet and savory fillings. We met up with Brazilian travel influencer Jo Franco, who shared how she eats the dish and to see how it’s prepared at TAP NYC.
