About Tapioca pearls

Tapioca pearls are small, chewy spheres made from tapioca starch, which is extracted from the cassava root, a plant native to South America. Widely used in Asian cuisine, they are a key ingredient in bubble tea and desserts like puddings. Tapioca pearls are naturally gluten-free and comprised mostly of carbohydrates, making them a quick source of energy. However, they are low in protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, offering minimal nutritional value beyond calories. Due to their starch content, tapioca pearls have a high glycemic index, which can cause blood sugar spikes if consumed in large quantities. Often cooked in sweetened syrups or paired with sugary drinks, they can contribute to high sugar intake if not eaten in moderation. Tapioca pearls can be enjoyed as an occasional treat as part of a balanced diet.
