How is Popping Boba Made?


Explosive beads are generally made from raw materials such as sodium alginate, calcium lactate, and fruit juice. During preparation, fruit juice or other flavor liquids are wrapped in a gel layer formed by the reaction of sodium alginate and calcium lactate. When biting open the bursting bead, the liquid inside will instantly burst open in the mouth, releasing a rich flavor and bringing a unique taste experience.
