1. A reconstituted soluble tapioca flour comprising:
(i) greater than 90 wt % to 98.15 wt % of a refined soluble tapioca flour, wherein the refined soluble tapioca flour has a particle size distribution after solubilization in 90° C. water wherein 90 % of particles have a size of 300 microns or less, 50% of particles have a particle size of 150 microns or less, and 10% of particles have a particle size of 40 microns or less based on wet/dispersed solubility in 90° C. water; and
(ii) a milled fiber fraction of the soluble tapioca flour;
wherein:
a remaining balance of the reconstituted soluble tapioca flour being the milled fiber fraction of the soluble tapioca flour;
the reconstituted soluble tapioca flour was first separated into a fiber fraction and the refined soluble tapioca flour, and secondly reconstituted by mixing the fiber fraction with the refined soluble tapioca flour; and
the reconstituted soluble tapioca flour has a solubility of at least 5 wt % based on wet/dispersed solubility in 90° C. water.
