Philippines

Originating in Asia, Popping boba is also known as bursting boba or popping pearls due to their fruit juice interior that burst when bitten into.

Popping boba looks like tapioca pearls except they are colorful, made of seaweed extract, and filled with fruit juice. They are different and distinct but serve the same purpose for being a drink or beverage topping.

Each popping pearl is about 3/8" in diameter and bursts with flavorful fruit juices when bitten into.
