About Boba

Boba, also known as tapioca pearls, is a popular ingredient in bubble tea, a beverage that originated in Taiwan in the 1980s. Made primarily from tapioca starch, these chewy, marble-sized balls are cooked, sweetened, and added to drinks for texture and flavor. While boba itself is gluten-free and low in fat, its nutritional value is minimal, providing primarily carbohydrates without significant vitamins or minerals. Bubble tea, where boba is typically paired with milk, tea, and syrups, can be high in sugar depending on preparation, which may contribute to excess calorie consumption. On the healthier side, when paired with unsweetened tea or plant-based milks, the drink can offer antioxidants and hydration with less added sugar. Moderation is key to enjoying boba while maintaining nutritional balance.
