Boba, also known as tapioca pearls, QQ balls or ‘zhen zhu’ is derived from the starch of the cassava root. When cooked properly, bobas are marble-shaped balls that have a gummy-bear like texture and have a slightly sweet taste. Boba can be added to any type of drink: cold or hot milk tea, ice-blended drinks, smoothies, juices and coffee.
