US Boba 30lb (1lb X 30) Tapioca Pearl Bubble Tea Made in USA for Milk Tea Coffee Shaved Ice Topping USA 30 Pound

I haven't liked these in the past, because they are very delicate/crumbly and take time to cook. 1 hr (25 minutes cooking, 25 min cooling)But! I recently bought a different brand that had silicone resin as an ingredient. Ew! Other brands may be easy to cook, but they are not better for you.US Boba are made of safe ingredients, and have a pleasant brown sugar smell. The texture is chewy and good. Once I learned to be gentle handling them, they turned out a lot better. I do have to baby them, and break up the ones stuck together. I cook them early in the day, and then I have them ready for milk tea later on.

I am a business owner; I've never eaten such a bad boba! I bought boba before this brand. I don't think the boba are like this, and I use a lot of this brand of syrup in my store, and they are very good. Because the delivery of the boba manufacturer I cooperated with was delayed, I urgently needed some pearls, so I came here to buy them, and the quantity was small and very expensive. If I knew it was so unpalatable, I'd rather not make this money than let my guests eat it. It smells and tastes sour, how can I sell things that I can't eat myself to customers?

So far the best tapioca pearls I have ever made , easy to cook, smell perfect just like what it is, texture just like from a shop the syrup is ok it could be better if it will has less of the molasses flavor but it does the job to keep me away from the boba shop and paying $10 for a tiger etc brown sugar drinks

I like these but they crumble like no ones business and I honestly won't buy them again but the taste and texture was good

When I got it, it looked fine, but then as soon as I opened it, a lot of the balls on the exterior crushed. The balls themselves tasted fine, just a lot of crushed ones. Disappointed.

I spent probably 2 hours deciding which boba to buy and I’m SO happy I went with this one!For delivery: Mine came air vacuumed, heavily bubble wrapped, in a tough box. Not dent or bump on it. Plus it came with a note saying it is fragile and if it was damaged to let them know and they will replace it!For preparing: It’s amazing if you follow instructions. Here’s my detailed advice for perfect boba:Make sure to boil enough water and make sure it’s a heavy rolling boil. Make sure to use a bigger pot because you want it hot so a lot of the water boils out. Carefully get it out of the package and add it in.THEY DO EXPAND. Don’t add too much or you’ll waste some- my first attempt I did enough for 5 people to be have almost too much.Add in little by little. (I do it with a spoon). Stir!! I set my Alexa timer and stir every 3-5 minutes- make sure they don’t stick. The initial one when you put it in stops them from clumping. Sometimes I boil it an extra 2-3 minutes. One last stir.Cover. Like rice- you don’t want to let the heat or steam escape. Stir good, cover, then remove from heat. Set another timer 25-30 minutes. Leave it alone.Put in a small strainer. Rinse with cold water until the gel it creates is gone. Rinse for 1-2 minutes while swooshing it in circles. I use my sprayer to get it a little harder and speed it up.They are not sweet. If you want to add some sweetness to it and make them even softer keep going.Rinse your pan well and wipe it out. Add it cool water and dissolve sugar in it. I add it a good amount (think koolaid) because it needs it to absorb the flavor. Add your boba back in. Lit sit for 30 minutes to an hour depending your taste.I make chai at this point (I found some instant vanilla chai that is amazing with it - big train vanilla chai- stir it well with milk; still looking for other flavors)Once the time is up you add it in with a spoon and make sure to drain out the sugar water.Add in your boba straw and your set.It takes a while and we don’t always do the second soak but I add some time to the first one then.TLDR; don’t rush, treat it like rice with the resting it after. A second soak in sugar water makes it sweeter and softer!

I see a lot of people talking about the crumbling - I get that, mine crumbled too after about a year in my pantry.Because these are more natural ingredients!I know now that I should not leave them in the pantry for so long. The first time I cooked these they were perfect and had great taste.They're meant to be consumed; not stored. 😘

It tastes okay and the texture once cooked is fine, but I buy and cook boba a lot and have never had it turn into bean soup or refried beans before. It doesn't look right even once properly prepared and half the package is wasted because it's all crushed up into powder or pieces, plus the boba as it is normally cooked dissolves much more than most boba I've made. You get very little edible round boba. More mush or clots of gummy starch. I won't buy it again and it isn't cool that I can't ask for a refund or return.
