What it is
Tapioca pearls are small, chewy spheres made from the starch of the cassava root. The starch is extracted from the root, purified, and then processed into small pearls, which are often dried for storage and later rehydrated for cooking.
Why it's used
Tapioca pearls are primarily used as a thickener and texturizer in food products. Their unique gelatinous quality makes them ideal for puddings, bubble tea, and desserts, providing a distinct chewy bite.
Health notes
Tapioca pearls are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of carbohydrates but offer little in terms of protein, fiber, or micronutrients. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated tapioca starch, and it is widely used globally.
Allergen info
Tapioca is not derived from any of the 9 major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
