Dietary fiber are derived from the tapioca pulp fiber that is a by-product of tapioca starch milling operations. The tapioca fiber may be refined through an enzymatic destarching step to provide a fiber comprising at least 70% total dietary fiber, of which at least 12% is soluble dietary fiber. The fiber may be further refined by bleaching. Acceptable foods may be prepared comprising unrefined or refined tapioca fiber.
