OUR BOBA is 100% pure
WHAT IS BOBA?
Boba, or tapioca pearls, is made from tapioca flour shaped into balls and cooked until gelatinized. Uncooked, boba is not much different than any other dough: flour, water, and a binding agent. For example, fresh pasta is made from flour, water, and eggs. Mass produced boba, whether it’s made in Taiwan or the US, is typically made from tapioca flour and water with a filler that acts as a binding agent such as xanthan gum, guar gum, or agar. Additionally, they’re made with preservatives, artificial colors, and flavors.
Ingredients from a popular manufactured boba: Tapioca Starch, Water, Starch Acetate, Hydroxyproyl Distarch Phosphate, Caramel, Guar Gum, Sodium Diacetate, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Artificial Flavor
HOW WE DO IT
We make our boba from scratch. In the store. Every day. It’s the most authentic boba you can find because it contains 100% tapioca, giving it a clean flavor profile, a soft consistent chew, and no aftertaste. At Bobaville, we’ve created a process in which we can make tapioca dough from 100% tapioca. All natural. No fillers. No preservatives. The real deal.
Bobabville boba is clear and brown. So why is everyone else’s boba black?
Artificial coloring! There is no known process for giving boba a deep black color naturally. Tapioca comes from the cassava root, which gives pure boba a natural white color. Boba turns black when it’s colored artificially. But we don’t add artificial coloring to our boba — only brown sugar and caramel!
