Varavoot Industry has been operating since 1999 and, according to its own information, has more than 20 years of experience in flour milling. It makes rice flour and glutinous rice flour, tapioca and corn starch, and tapioca pearls, which it sells under the Flourish and Desert Rose brands in Thailand and abroad. Production follows the ISO 22000 food safety system.
What we stock
Small tapioca pearls – sakhu in Thai – are made from tapioca starch. We sell white and green ones in 400 g packs. In Thai cooking they are used for desserts with coconut milk, for example with sweetcorn or mango, but also for savoury sakhu sai mu dumplings filled with pork.
Rinse the pearls, tip them into boiling water and cook for about 12 minutes, stirring constantly, until they turn translucent with just a small white dot left in the middle. Then drain them, rinse in cold water and mix with sweetened coconut milk or fruit.
