Bob's Red Mill Small Pearl Tapioca - 24 oz - 2 pk

Excellent tapioca

These tapioca pearls are ones I consistently go back to. The quality is solid and the bag is pretty accessible, whether on store shelves or online markets.

After years of purchasing Minute Tapioca, I had been unsuccessful at finding the product in my local stores. I found Bob’s Red Mill brand at a reasonable price and decided to try it. First drawback is the full hour it takes to cook the product. You also need to closely watch while cooking to avoid scorching. I followed the recipe on the back of the package carefully, even tempering the eggs to avoid scrambled eggs. The pudding was very thick (almost gummy) although the taste was delicious. The second attempt was much better. I separated my eggs and whipped the whites into stiff peaks along with the vanilla and a couple of tablespoons of granulated sugar. When the pearls were thoroughly cooked, I added the beaten eggs (again tempered) and cooked as the package directed. At the very end, I folded in my beaten egg whites. This created the texture that I was looking for in my pudding.

Best tapioca pearls out there! My family loves the pudding best of all.

I use the microwave method for making tapioca pudding on the Bobs Red Mill recipe site and it’s so easy compared to the stove top methods. Removed a star because delivery was late and iffy if it would arrive.

This is an excellent product that I have used for years.

I have childhood memories of my mother making homemade tapioca pudding. She would often make it for me and for my siblings when we were ill to help us feel better. I haven't made it in years, so I bought this tapioca and used the Classic Old-Fashioned Tapioca Pudding that was on the package. Yum. Yum yum yum. And yes, I recently made it for an elderly relative who was not feeling well, and she loved it, too. FOLLOW the directions. Use good vanilla extract. Stir and stir and stir! It's worth the effort. (It tastes better if you make it with whole milk. I used grass-fed whole milk and free-range chicken eggs.)
