About Tapioca boba

Tapioca boba, often referred to as "boba pearls," are chewy spheres made primarily from tapioca starch, a gluten-free carbohydrate extracted from the cassava root. Originating in Taiwan, they are a key component of bubble tea, a popular beverage that combines flavored tea with milk, fruit, or other ingredients. Tapioca pearls are cooked with water and sugar, creating their distinctive texture and mildly sweet flavor. While they provide quick energy due to their high carbohydrate content, tapioca boba has minimal nutritional benefits, offering little in the way of fiber, protein, vitamins, or minerals. Additionally, they are often sweetened, which adds to the calorie content. Moderation is key when enjoying boba as part of a balanced diet.
