Beadlike starch obtained from cassava root and used in puddings (7)

I believe the answer is:

tapioca

(Other definitions for tapioca that I've seen before include "it thickens" , "Pudding from the cassava root" , "course" , "Starchy pudding" , "Substance from cassava used to thicken puddings" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
