Are The Pearls in Your Bubble Tea Safe To Eat?
BY LUNA REGINA
Bubble tea has taken the world by storm and the pearls at the bottom are a part of the experience. Luckily, these little balls are a joy and are safe to eat.
These gummy balls are usually made from tapioca starch. However, since they are so fun to eat, it’s easy to overindulge, which can cause digestive issues like constipation.
People slurp them through a straw, but sucking them up can be risky since they can get stuck in your windpipe. With the provided spoon, you can minimize choking or overindulging.
