Mochi is a traditional Japanese rice cake made from glutinous rice, known for its soft, sticky, and chewy texture. It is often filled with sweet ingredients like red bean paste or ice cream, and is enjoyed as a dessert or snack.
Modified tapioca starch (BAOFLO, CHEEFLO) is used in mochi production to improve its elasticity and softness. It helps create a smoother, more consistent texture, prevents the mochi from becoming too sticky, and enhances its ability to maintain shape and chewiness during storage.
