What Is Seed Pearl Tapioca?
Seed pearl tapioca is produced from starch extracted from the cassava root (Manihot esculenta), a tropical plant cultivated in many parts of the world.
The extracted starch is processed into small, rounded pearls that are dried before use. During cooking, the pearls absorb liquid, soften and develop the characteristic texture associated with tapioca pudding.
Unlike tapioca flour or starch powder, seed pearl tapioca retains its individual pearl structure during preparation, making it particularly suitable for desserts where texture is an important feature.
Tapioca Sourced from the Philippines and Indonesia
Our seed pearl tapioca is sourced from the Philippines and Indonesia, countries with established cassava cultivation and tapioca production industries.
Cassava roots are processed to extract the starch, which is then formed into small pearls and dried to produce the finished ingredient.

Seed Pearl Tapioca for Puddings and Desserts
One of the best-known applications for seed pearl tapioca is traditional tapioca pudding.
When cooked in milk, the pearls gradually absorb liquid and soften, creating a creamy dessert with a distinctive texture.
Seed pearl tapioca is suitable for manufacturers producing traditional puddings and other prepared desserts where individual tapioca pearls are required.
Its relatively neutral flavour allows it to work with ingredients such as vanilla, fruit and other dessert flavourings.
