Has anyone made these premade boba/tapioca pearls?

    I think they meant 60g instead of 10 because 60g of carbohydrates is 240 calories

    Doesn’t surprise me because boba is mostly starch. Shame because it’s so damn good.

    I’ve been making boba with konjac blocks! Just dice it and soak it in sugar free syrup for a bit. It really scratches the boba itch for me.

    I mean those look like pretty large bobas. They’re like the size of chickpeas, maybe even bigger. That’s a lot of starch.

    For fewer calories, I would get tapioca pearls that are one ingredient.

    Oh it’s t&t. Their labels are notoriously inaccurate on imported products.
