Are tapioca pearls good for you?

Answer 1

they aren't the most healthy products. this is taken from www.nutrition.com.sg:

"Most bubble tea, also known as pearl tea, tapioca tea, boba, milk tea and zhen zhu nai cha, contains brewed black or green tea, tapioca pearls, milk and honey or sugar. Some of them are blended with fruit juice and other flavourings as well. I do not see that any of the above ingredients being harmful as long as they were handled hygienically.

The amount of calories will depend the size of your cup and also the type of milk bubble tea you order. One source gives the calories for a basic milk bubble tea with tapioca pearls at about 360 calories per 16 oz cup. Rumour has it that 7 pearls are about 100 calories and there are about 30 pearls in a drink. That makes each serving of bubble tea fairly high in calories when you compare it to a cup of regular milk tea which is only 60 calories per cup!"

Is Tapioca Bad For You

Answer 3

You can find tapioca in most large grocery stores. It will be in the section where they sell, sugar, cake mixes, pudding, that kind of thing. I have been wondering what the heck bubble tea was so I googled it and found a recipe. Why someone would make a drink with tea, milk and tapioca in it is beyond me. It sounds positively disgusting. If I ever find a restaurant that serves it, I may try it, but....

Tapioca is high in carbs but we get our energy from carbs so tapioca is good in moderation. My grandmother used to make a fabulous dessert with pearl tapioca and pineapple chunks. If I ever figure out how to soak and boil the pearl tapioca, I will mix it with pineapple chunks, chopped nuts, and PIG OUT!
