Bubble tea pearls, also known as tapioca pearls, are chewy balls made from tapioca starch, typically added to bubble tea for texture and fun. They are boiled to achieve a soft, chewy consistency and provide a unique experience to the drink.
Tapioca starch (NOOFLO, SAUFLO, EXP BRAND, CHEEFLO,..) is used in bubble tea pearl production to enhance their elasticity and chewiness. It ensures the pearls maintain their texture without becoming too soft or breaking apart, even after cooking and sitting in liquids for extended periods.
