White crystal boba is a variation of traditional tapioca pearls made with karaya gum or konjac rather than tapioca starch. Originating from East Asia, it is a popular component of bubble tea, known for its translucent, jelly-like texture and mild sweetness. Unlike regular black tapioca pearls, white crystal boba is lower in calories and carbohydrates, making it a preferred option for lighter bubble tea recipes. Typically served in refreshing fruit teas or herbal drinks, it provides texture without a significant calorie increase. Its nutritional profile largely depends on preparation and added syrups, but plain white crystal boba is generally low in fats and has moderate fiber content due to the use of plant-based gums.
Store in a cool, dry place and seal after opening. Once prepared, refrigerate and consume within 1-2 days for optimal freshness.
White Crystal Boba is relatively low in protein, typically providing less than 1 gram per serving (about 1/4 cup). It’s moderately high in calories, with approximately 70-100 calories per serving, mostly coming from carbohydrates and sugar components.
White Crystal Boba is not considered keto or low-carb friendly, as it contains a significant amount of carbohydrates — around 20-25 grams per serving — primarily from starches and sugars. It is best avoided on these diets.
While White Crystal Boba can be enjoyed in moderation as a sweet treat, it has limited nutritional benefits, offering minimal vitamins or minerals. It is high in carbohydrates and low in fiber, so excessive consumption could contribute to blood sugar spikes or weight gain. It’s best consumed sparingly, especially for those managing diabetes or calorie intake.
The typical serving size for White Crystal Boba is about 1/4 cup (50 grams), which contains 70-100 calories. This portion is often mixed with milk teas or desserts to add texture without overloading on carbohydrates or sugars.
Compared to traditional tapioca pearls, White Crystal Boba is slightly less dense and has a chewier texture. Both types are similar in calorie content and carbohydrates, but White Crystal Boba is often made with agar or konjac, making it slightly lower in starch and sometimes more suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets.
