Tapioca is a starchy substance extracted from the root of the cassava plant. Instant tapioca is used as a thickener, usually for pies but can also be used in soups or sauces. Large pearl tapioca is most often added to drinks or puddings to add a chewy texture to the overall dish rather than thickening the liquid within the dish.

How long do you boil tapioca balls?

To cook tapioca balls, bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the tapioca pearls. Boil them for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Once they become translucent and chewy, remove them from heat, cover, and let them sit for an additional 30 minutes. Rinse the cooked tapioca balls in cold water before using them in your desired recipe.
