Boba, also known as black pearls or tapioca balls, is derived from the starch of the cassava root. When cooked perfectly, the Boba becomes a sweet chewy ball with a gummy-bear like texture about 1/4 of an inch in diameter.
Boba can be added to any drink: milk tea, smoothies, juice and coffee. Boba tea, or more commonly known as Bubble Tea, is usually a sweetened tea with a layer of dark round tapioca balls at the bottom.

Whats In Tapioca Pudding

Tapioca pudding is a common pudding with tapioca pearls added to a vanilla pudding. It can be discerned from other types of pudding by the small, translucent and almost caviar-like orbs of tapioca within. Tapioca is the root of the cassava plant, which is also known as manioc. It requires processing to withdraw either flakes, seeds or pearls of the tapioca plant. Tapioca is native to South and Central America. It is now produced in Africa and Asia.

Those gelatinous, squishy things are tapioca pearls. When cooked, they thicken up sauces and liquids to form a pudding like custard. Some cultures, such as Vietnamese, specialize in drinks containing large tapioca pearls. Tapioca pudding can't be beat, that's for sure!

Tapioca is a starch extracted from the cassava plant, which is native to the Western Hemisphere, but now much more widely cultivated in Africa and Asia. It is produced in several forms: a flour, flakes, and pellets or pearls. The pearl form is what's found in typical tapioca pudding.

Tapioca is from a root. The clear things are the tapioca! It was made into a paste and then dried.
