Tapioca pearls are about the size of small marbles and have a distinctively chewy texture. The texture is very similar to Japanese mochi or gummy bears. If you can cook pasta, rice or ramen noodles then you can definitely cook these tapioca pearls. Tapioca is the foundation for a bubble tea drink. It is the first thing that customers will judge. Think about it. When most people buy a bubble tea the first thing they do is see how much tapioca was given and if they feel the business is being skimpy. Next they will sip the drink and check the texture of the tapioca. A perfectly chewy and lightly sweetened tapioca pearl is essential for these customers to buy again. This is sometimes overlooked by businesses.
