Popping boba (also called popping pearls or bursting boba) are small, translucent spheres filled with fruit juice or flavored syrup. Bite or sip them and they burst, releasing flavor in your mouth — hence the ‘pop’.
What is popping boba made of?
Popping boba is made from seaweed extract (sodium alginate), not gelatin, so it is suitable for vegan and vegetarian customers. A thin gel skin holds the liquid centre — unlike chewy tapioca pearls, which must be boiled.
Popping boba vs. tapioca pearls
- Popping boba: liquid centre, bursts in the mouth, no boiling, long shelf life
- Tapioca pearls: made from cassava starch, chewy, must be boiled and used the same day
