About Boba pearls

Boba pearls, also known as tapioca pearls, are small, chewy spheres traditionally made from cassava starch. Originating in Taiwan, they are a staple ingredient in bubble tea, a popular drink that blends milk, tea, and sweeteners with the pearls providing texture. Typically cooked with sugar or honey for flavor, boba pearls are primarily composed of carbohydrates, offering quick energy, but lack significant vitamins, minerals, or protein. While their satisfying chew and aesthetic appeal make bubble tea a fun treat, boba pearls are relatively calorie-dense and contain little nutritional value. For those mindful of their intake, moderation is recommended, as they are often combined with sugary beverages, which may contribute to excess calorie consumption. Opting for smaller servings or incorporating unsweetened drinks can balance their enjoyment without compromising health.
