Tapioca Pearls (Dry, 100g)

Tapioca pearls are iconic, translucent spheres crafted from the starch of the cassava root, prized for their uniquely chewy, pleasantly bouncy texture. In their dry state, these small beads are hard and opaque, but once simmered in water, they transform into soft, gelatinous orbs that serve as the perfect blank canvas for a variety of sweet applications. Because they possess a remarkably mild and neutral flavor profile, they effortlessly absorb the rich tastes of the syrups, milks, and beverages they are paired with, such as brown sugar, coconut cream, or vibrant fruit nectars. In the culinary world, they are most famous as the star ingredient in beloved bubble tea beverages, but they are equally cherished in comforting classic tapioca puddings, refreshing shaved ice desserts, and traditional Asian sweet soups.
