Are Bubble Tea Pearls Gluten Free

Traditional bubble tea pearls are naturally gluten-free. They are made from tapioca starch, a gluten-free flour extracted from the cassava root. That said, if you have coeliac disease or a severe gluten sensitivity, it is still worth checking with the shop about potential cross-contamination or the ingredients used in flavoured pearl varieties and soaking syrups.
