What's boba?

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, juice and coffee.  Bobas are essential to any bubble tea, pearl milk tea, boba milk tea, black pearl tea, or tapioca tea.
