Wu Fu Yuan Black Tapioca Pearl, 250 g (Packaging May Vary)

Product Information

In addition to the shorter cooking time, another benefit of partially cooked tapioca is that it lasts longer, with a shelf life of 8 months compared with the shelf life of 6 months for raw tapioca. However it doesn’t mean it was not worth the hassle… The great thing is you get the tasty boba, the syrup is quick and simple to make, it was so yummy while still warm. Wufuyuan Tapioca Pearl is a high-quality ingredient used in making bubble tea, a popular Taiwanese tea-based drink that has gained popularity around the world. Tapioca pearls are derived as baked tapioca products, which are obtained from heat treatment of the moist cassava starch in shallow pans.

Make your own Bubble tea, Boba Milk tea, Thai Ice Tea, or ice coffee with this Tapioca Pearl at your own home. Tapioca starch is very similar to cornstarch or cornflour, and as such, it doesn’t form a dough when mixed with liquids.The beauty of popping boba is the ability to provide a flavour twist without affecting the main flavour of the drink or dessert itself, every bite is a flavour explosion that never disappoints!

But it can be hard to find; so far I haven’t been able to find any in my local Asian grocery either. In Chinese, the word boba, 波霸, is a combination of a word for bubble and a word for big, which, when found together, is slang for "big breasts" or "buxom lady". Tapioca pearls are a gluten-free and vegan-friendly ingredient that is also low in fat and calories.

Chlorine (use is banned in many countries) helps to create a higher quality flour and also has disinfecting and bleaching properties. Large tapioca peals are often used in South Asian desserts, boiled up with coconut milk until they take on a jellybaby-like consistency, and then sweetened with a little palm sugar and served with fruit.

If you want to keep the color of the boba pearls vibrant, then I recommend using a combination of white sugar syrup or honey. Initially offered as an alternative to tapioca in bubble tea drinks these wonderfully tasty show stoppers have now taken over the dessert space with many alternative uses in ice creams, milkshakes, cocktails, slush drinks and frozen yoghurt. You can use a knife to cut 1 cm strips in one direction, and then in the perpendicular direction to cut similarly thick strips. You can make boba tea with any kind of tea, although the most popular options are jasmine, oolong and green tea.

Add the rest of the water directly to the tapioca flour and immediately pour the colored water to the bowl as well.
