I started googling but I'm too tired, so if anyone is bored & would like to research & summarize?

What are the relative amounts of carbs? Effects on blood sugar (sound like they are both resistant starch)?

Can they be substituted in recipes?

Anyone here who monitors their blood sugar & experimented with them?

Thanks!

You can use tapioca as an equal substitute in recipes that call for potato starch. And vice versa.
I'll leave the nutritional side to you.

Not in everything. Tapioca can't be used in cakes instead of potato starch and in some other stuff it won't go. Don't remember off hand now.

Every single one of my pesach cakes are made with tapioca starch. I use standard potato starch based recipes.

Ok I'm sorry. Going to delete my post. I mixed it up with plantain flour.
