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

Not complicated to fix, super great flavor. Tip: use Mexican vanilla.

I make this wonderful Tapioca in my crockpot! I love it if I'm going to be home most of the day. Turn crockpot to high and add 4 cups milk, 1-1/3 C sugar, 3/4 C tapioca pearls, and a dash of salt. Into the blender goes 2 cups milk, & 4 eggs. Blend starting on low and up to 8 for 1 minute. Add this into the milk in the crockpot and stir well. Leave it on high and check every half hour for 1-1/2 hours. Turn it to low and stir. Continue to check it, stirring well for the next hour or so. It seems like lots of work but it really isn't. Happy Tapioca!

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.

Haven’t been able to find tapioca pearls in any store since the Covid pandemic, was happy to find it on Amazon. Bob’s Red Mill products are pricey but always very good! The quality of the tapioca pearls I received is excellent. The recipe on the bag states to cook for an hour. I adjusted by soaking the pearls in water and draining prior to cooking so you don’t have to cook and stir for so long. I recommend this product and will purchase again.

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.

I’ve made many batches of tapioca pudding and this is the very best tapioca. It was delivered in perfect condition and was much cheaper in a 2-pack. Will definitely purchase again!

Amazon, please keep this in stock regularly! It is my go to morning cereal, to line my tummy. I’ve had so many digestive issues since having had uterine cancer and a badly done hysterectomy! I get gas in the hernias. This helps regulate all that! I soak the tapioca over night, cook it in the morning and eat it w lactose free milk or almond milk etc! It is very useful! Please keep it in stock!

I have been making pudding with small pearl tapioca for over 30 years following my Amish aunt’s recipe. Having used many different brands of tapioca over the years, I can honestly say I have never found any that were as good as these Bob’s Red Mill pearls that I just ordered via Amazon. They cooked in the right time, uniformly, and with the least amount of sticky-pan cleanup I have ever found. I only ordered tapioca from Amazon because I could not find it in any local store in our area. Very pleasant surprise that these pearls performed so superbly, I will stick with this Red Mill brand from now on!
