Tapioca Pearls 8 Oz | Classic Kosher Brown Sugar - Non-Gmo, Vegan, Gluten-Free 12 Servings Balls For Tea, Bubble Tea Drinks

I followed the directions to cook the boba pearls. While they cooked, I made two cups of an easy simple syrup with water and brown sugar. When the boba was done, I added the pearls to the syrup (everything was cool), then put them in individual serving baggies and put them in our freezer. Our kiddos can just pull a pack out, put it in hot water for a few minutes, fill a cup with ice & milk then add the boba & syrup. It’s SO delicious, so much healthier and only cost around $1.25 per cup! This is the way we will make boba from now on. I feel better knowing my kids get the treat they love, but with much cleaner and mostly organic ingredients (all other ingredients are organic).

I loved that these were as close to the scratch made boba we love ingredients wise so I gave them a shot. They took a very long time to cook (about an hour total) and had a weird texture. They aren’t chewy at all, they almost feel mushy but then the center is chalky. Flavor is great, ingredients great, but minus two stars for the really unappetizing texture.

For the past two years I've tried many different brands of boba pearls and these are the best I have found so far! If you are used to KFT boba these are a little different. KFT boba pearls are more like the 5min quick cook boba that has a ton of preservatives. Better Boba is like the gourmet, fresh boba you will find at Möge Tee and other more high end boba shops. These do take a little longer to cook compared to the 5min boba but the upgrade in flavor, texture, and quality is well worth it! Plus it gives me time to make a fancier fruit tea or a matcha latte to put them into. For the quality it is also a great value. For what 2 boba drinks cost me out I can make 8+ drinks and I feel better afterwards since these don't have all the preservatives and gums that most boba does. I also feel a lot safer knowing this is made in the US.

These are really yummy. I made mine in the instant pot for easy, leave it alone cooking. Came out great! My only issue is that you get maybe 2-3 good size boba drinks which isn’t much less expensive then just going out to get one. So the value is just Ehhhh because the time to cook, work etc.

These boba pearls taste okay, but the price is too high for the quantity. They take a long time to cook and don’t have the chewy texture I expected. Not worth the cost.
