    Question; are those tapioca spheres or are they bubbles from a bubble tea? Actually is this just standard boba? Or are these ones… pearls from the bottom of a pearl milk tea drink?

    I really need to know specifically which.

      I used to buy tubs of the bubbles. Theyre udually just fruit juice that was piped into… Something im too lazy to search.

      Tapioca pearls are also, confusingly, called bubbles. These are usually called popping bubbles

        sometimes it’s agar agar into cold oil.

        some claim better results using sodium algenate and calcium chloride.

      Tapioca spheres are the only true Bobba imo. Those “popping” ones in the image are just disgusting garbage.

        Agree 100%. The tapioca ones have a nice, almost gelatinous texture that I find very satisfying.
