一種由美洲熱帶地區的木薯植物（Manihot esculenta）的球莖狀塊根所獲得的顆粒狀澱粉。將植物的根部瀝濾而後乾燥與研磨。澱粉核為不規則形狀，以水加熱時會形成粘稠的液體，並隨著加熱時間的加長而變稀。冷卻後，其厚度會略為增加以形成半透明的凝膠。木薯可作為食物、烹飪上增加黏稠度的材料、洗衣粉以及郵票、信封、標籤與膠合板的黏著劑。

木薯(種)

英文....

A beady starch obtained from the tuberous roots of the cassava plant, Manihot esculenta, native to tropical America. The roots are leached then dried and ground. The starch has irregularly shaped kernels; when heated with water it forms a thick stringy solution that gets thinner with heating time. It thickens only slightly on cooling to form a translucent gel. It is used for food, a thickening agent in cooking, laundry starch, and as adhesive for stamps, envelopes, labels, and plywood.
