    Where does tapioca pearls come from?

    May 20, 2024 1 min read

    Tapioca pearls, also referred to as boba or bubble tea pearls, are derived from tapioca starch, which is obtained from the cassava root. Originally native to South America, cassava is now cultivated in several countries worldwide, including Brazil, Thailand, Nigeria, and Indonesia.

    The process of creating tapioca pearls involves extracting the starch from cassava roots and transforming it into a flour-like consistency. This flour is then combined with water to form a dough, which is shaped into small, spherical pearls. These pearls are subsequently cooked until they turn translucent and develop a chewy texture, resulting in the well-known tapioca pearls used in bubble tea and various desserts.

    Tapioca pearls have gained prominence as a fundamental ingredient in numerous Asian cuisines, particularly in association with bubble tea—a beloved beverage that originated in Taiwan. They contribute a distinct chewiness and texture to beverages and desserts, making them a delight enjoyed by individuals worldwide.
