Cooking tapioca the right way

Tapioca is made from tapioca starch so when it comes to cooking them there are a few tips you should keep in mind.

1. Tapioca will dissolve in water unless boiled.

Since tapioca is starch-based, they will dissolve when you soak them in water. This is especially true for good fresh tapioca. So always make sure to only cook tapioca in boiling water.

2. If you want nice and round tapioca, use lots of water.

Tapioca is sticky when wet so you want to make sure that there's lots of water for the tapioca to move around. That way they can stay round and separated!

3. Make sure to stir the tapioca constantly, especially near the end of the cooking process.

It's like cooking pasta, the starch will thicken the water as they cook. If we don't stir the tapioca as we cook, it will run the risk of burning. So make sure to stir, stir and stir!

4. Make what you need and serve immediately for the freshest tapioca.

Tapioca is the most soft and delicious when fresh. With time and cold, tapioca will get harder and chewier. We recommend eating them within 6 hours of cooking.
