Boba, commonly referred to as bubble tea, has gained popularity all over the globe. You can't turn a corner
without seeing a bubble tea shop with its quirky and pun-filled names. Most people would assume that if
you've seen one boba, you've seen them all. Little do people know, there are a couple of species of bobas
out and about that are currently being mixed into people's bubble tea drinks. These are the Standard Cook
Boba, Instant Boba, Crystal Boba, and Popping Boba. If you are in the dark about the difference between
these types of bobas then don't fret. Coming up next are the characteristics that separate each of the
bobas from each other.

To start things off, we have the Standard Cook Boba, these are the run-of-the-mill bobas that you see in
almost every shop. They are typically soft and chewy. To achieve its distinct texture, tapioca balls are
submerged in hot water for a couple of minutes until the desired chewiness is accomplished. The taste and
texture of standard cook boba are usually sweet and chewy. As its name suggests, it is the most typical
kind of bubble tea pearls and is available in pretty much every bubble tea shop you will find.

Now on to the Instant Boba. This type of boba is a common replacement for your standard cooked boba.
Think of instant noodles but with boba, just pour in boiling water and let it soak for a few minutes until it
turns into the boba we all know and love. There are several variants of instant boba pearls, including fruit,
honey, and brown sugar. It's a contemporary alternative for producing homemade bubble tea since it's
practical and simple to make.

The third type of boba is the Crystal Boba. Crystal boba, commonly referred to as white boba, is
manufactured from cassava flour rather than tapioca starch. It has a hard yet chewy texture and a
translucent appearance. Crystal boba mixes nicely with fruity beverages because of its gently sweet taste.
For those who wish to try something different from regular boba, it's a novel alternative.

Finally, we get to the boba that puts the bubble in bubble tea, the Popping Boba. This boba has a little
surprise waiting for you inside its chewy outer shell. As you bite into it, an explosion of flavor fills your
mouth with its gooey goodness. You can find plenty of variations floating around, so you can pick and
choose the boba of your liking. These tapioca pearls add a new level to the bubble tea drinking experience.

As a final note, different types of boba are available in the market, each with its unique texture, flavor, and
preparation method. Standard cook boba is the most common type, while instant boba is the most
convenient. Crystal boba is a unique option, and popping boba adds a fun element to bubble tea. The kind
of boba you choose depends on your personal preference and the flavor of the drink you want to create.
Regardless of the type, boba adds a fun and chewy texture to any bubble tea.
