The review stating that this wasn't "typical" tapioca and listing their soaking times must not have cooked it; every tapioca pudding recipe I've ever made with any brand (even the granulated stuff) requires cooking after soaking. Their photo did not look like it had been cooked, only soaked. It will still be white and opaque when soaked. Once cooked according to directions the tapioca pearls will turn mostly clear with a little milky translucence in the middle. I made a delicious pudding with the recipe from the manufacturer located in the information photos above the reviews (after you scroll down on the listing). It is different than the recipe provided on the bag itself, which makes a bigger quantity and calls for higher ratios of tapioca and sugar. Standard recipes are easy to find and I'm sure these will perform well in any regular tapioca pudding recipe that calls for large pearls. I soaked my pearls for 5 hours before cooking according to the recipe and had no trouble with them turning out nice and clear with an enjoyable bouncy texture. As for size, these are what you'd expect for old fashioned pudding, which is the primary purpose presented on the package. If you want larger pearls for making bubble tea drinks you'll want to look for "boba" pearls. These large tapioca pearls cook up to about half the size of standard boba pearls. I did my best to show the size differences against a ruler in my attached photo. Boba is about 1cm in diameter, and these cook up to just around 1/2cm on average. I actually plan to try cooking them as a boba substitute, despite their smaller size, because I like that these are single ingredient and less of a choking hazard for my kids. While I haven't tried this approach yet, I'll treat the soaking and cook time about the same but just use water and stir the cooked and drained pearls into a little brown sugar to simulate traditional syrupy boba pearls. If I try this successfully I'll try to remember to come back and update this review. Review: Almost impossible to find in stores! - Family loves tapioca pudding.... These are the bigger pearls which are even yummier. ## Features - Hoosier Hill Farm Large Tapioca Pearls are perfect for pudding! These round pearls made from 100% cassava root contain no artificial additives, color, or preservatives. - Our pearls have a pleasant, chewy texture with more thickening power than instant tapioca. They are most commonly used to make tapioca pudding, but they’re also found in a wide variety of sweet and savory dishes around the world. - How To Use: Before adding to these large tapioca pearls to a recipe, soak for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight, in your refrigerator. Most pudding recipes call for soaking in milk. For a richer taste, we recommend using whole milk or cream flavored with vanilla. You can choose vanilla extract, vanilla paste, or a split and scraped vanilla bean. When cooking your soaked tapioca pearls, be sure to keep the heat low and stir frequently to prevent any sticking. - Store in a cool, dry place. We do not recommend refrigeration or freezing of the pearls for storage. - Packaged in a facility that processes dairy, soy, peanuts, and wheat products. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B074D38R55 | | Best Sellers Rank | #21,895 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #9 in Tapioca Thickeners | | Brand | Hoosier Hill Farm | | Brand Name | Hoosier Hill Farm | | Cuisine | Western | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 1,243 Reviews | | Diet Type | Vegan, Vegetarian | | Item Form | Capsule | | Item Type Name | Tapioca Pearl | | Item Weight | 2 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Hoosier Hill Farm | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Package Size Name | 2 lbs | | Part Number | HHF227N | | Region of Origin | Indiana | | Set Name | 2 lb Tapioca Pearls | | Size | 2 Pound (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | No Artificial Colors | | Unit Count | 32.0 Ounce | ## Images ![Large Tapioca Pearls, 2LB (Pack of 1) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51dx+et0DPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent tapioca for old fashioned pudding! *by K***A on August 30, 2025* Excellent pearl tapioca for making old fashioned pudding with large pearls, rather than the granular "minute tapioca" which is the only version I've seen in stores in recent years.

These are the bigger pearls which are even yummier. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These are good. *by A***R on February 8, 2026* I am using the large pearls for the first time and I really like them for my tapioca pudding. So far I have made two puddings and the first pearls soaked for about 5 hours and made a nice pudding and this 2nd one I made today soaked for at least 12 hours and there is a big difference in outcomes. Volume mostly. I soaked them both in whole milk. I added raisins and chia seeds to both and three eggs and I am very happy with the results. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hoosier Hill Farm Large Tapioca Pearls, 2LB (Pack of 1) - Bob's Red Mill Tapioca, Small Pearl, 24 Ounce - Kraft Minute Tapioca (8 oz Box) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/49810195-large-tapioca-pearls-2lb-pack-of-1](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/49810195-large-tapioca-pearls-2lb-pack-of-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-14*
