Tapioca pearls, often featured in beverages like bubble tea or desserts, are small, chewy spheres made from starch extracted from the cassava root. Originating from South America, tapioca has gained popularity worldwide, particularly in Asian cuisines. These translucent pearls are naturally gluten-free and provide a quick source of carbohydrates, making them an energy-boosting option. However, tapioca pearls offer minimal protein, fiber, vitamins, or minerals, meaning they are not a nutrient-dense food. Often served sweetened or combined with sugary drinks, their calorie content can increase significantly. While tapioca itself is free from allergens and a good alternative for those avoiding wheat, moderation is key for those mindful of sugar intake or seeking balanced nutrition.
