Review: Great Pearls - Great tapioca pearls, texture and stickiness is excellent. No crumbs in package. Fast and easy to cook on stovetop. Reheats nicely in microwave. These are really good tapioca pearls. Better than 3 other brands tried previously.
Review: Fast Chewy Boba That Delivers Every Time - I bought these black bubble pearls because I wanted an easy way to make bubble tea at home without the usual fuss. The promise of quick cooking and microwave readiness sounded like exactly what I needed for busy weeknights and lazy weekends alike. Day to day, it has been straightforward. The pearls require no constant stirring and there is no clumping, which is a big plus compared with other brands I have tried. After a brief cook and a short rest, they come out soft and chewy and they hold up well in hot tea or milk tea. What stood out most is how reliably chewy they are and that they stay distinct instead of turning to a mushy blob. The texture can be tuned a bit by simmering longer or shorter, which gives me control I appreciate. Also the claim that there is zero loss during cooking, storage, or transport feels right when I keep the bag in the pantry and open it without issues. One small note is that if you have a very specific chew preference you may need a quick round of trial and adjustment, since texture can vary with timing. Beyond that, it is a simple, convenient option for home bubble tea. Overall I am very pleased and would rate it five stars for easy prep and reliable chew.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do these tapioca pearls contain PCB-like substances that has been linked to cancer?**
A: FYI.  The folks at UC Berkeley took issue with the German study that made those claims.  http://www.berkeleywellness.com/healthy-eating/food-safety/article/tapioca-pearl-problems

**Q: What are the ingredients?**
A: The ingredients are listed as: Tapioca Starch, Acelytated Starch, Tapioca Specification Starch, Caramel, Water, Sodium Carboxy Methylcellulose (CMC), Dehydroacetic Acid (DHA), Sodium Hydrogen Diacetate (SDA).  110 calories per 1/3 cup, 60 mg of sodium, 27 g of carbohydrate.

**Q: Is it worth it?**
A: I think it was great, weird to see it wasn’t great for others. Lot of people compare this the the Amazon recommended one but I think this better. You get more with less money. Plus to me they taste the same and I’m a huge boba lover. It wasn’t powder-y as much as the other brand. Just boil it for 5 to 6 minutes like usual and then let it soak in sugar water for 15 minutes and done! And use that syrup in the drink, no additional sugar needed if you do that.

**Q: Are you sending customers the exact same product, the EFA brand, shown in the photo above? or, are you sending a different product?**
A: I'm not the seller, but when I ordered from them at the beginning of December, they sent me a different brand - Bolle. They might have changed since then, but I believe the picture is the same.
