Chakra Sago (Tapioca) Seeds, 1kg

Tapioca pearls, also known as tapioca balls or boba, are a popular ingredient in desserts and drinks. They are made from tapioca starch, which is extracted from the cassava root, a starchy tuber native to South America. The starch is processed into small, translucent spheres that have a chewy texture.

In Indian cooking, another form of tapioca known as sago is commonly used. Sago is made from the same cassava root as tapioca pearls but is processed differently. It is used in dishes like Sabudana Khichdi (Maharashtrian Tapioca Pilaf) and Sabudana kheer, a sweet pudding made with sago, milk, and sugar.

Tapioca pearls are a popular ingredient in bubble tea, a Taiwanese drink that originated in the 1980s. The drink is made by combining tea, milk, and sweetener with tapioca pearls, which are added to the bottom of the cup and drunk through a wide straw. The pearls add a chewy texture to the drink and are available in a variety of flavors like honey, strawberry, and chocolate.

Tapioca pearls are also used in desserts like fruit salads, puddings, and ice cream. They are versatile and can be flavored with a variety of ingredients like coconut milk, pandan leaves, and fruit syrups.
