I just checked my tapioca and they are too tiny and not even balls but little uneven pieces that are different shapes, maybe there is a couple of balls ๐ All of the balls are just about the same size in your picture so…
I just did a little research and I have instant tapioca not tapioca pearls which are much bigger and look just like your picture ๐ I obviously was not familiar with these pearls but now I am…
They are very easy to cook with, Judi! I made this recipe from Sofia’s site:
You are right – there has been a lot of hail all over the country! Hail comes in all different sizes but when it comes down in a particular area the balls are equal in size! ๐
Oh man, I wish I had hail here! Or rain! We’re in the middle of a dreadful drought. Anyhoo, these are uncooked tapioca pearls! Thanks for playing along with me, Sonya!! ๐
Hmm – guess it is not hail as your lavender post said you are having a drought. Unless of course it was taken somewhere else ๐
Yes and yes! You were the first to guess correctly, Sofia! I bet you got it right because we’ve been talking about your tapioca with coconut milk dish. These are the tapioca I used! ๐
How cool is that! ๐ Yes, it was because we had been talking about my tapioca and coconut milk dish! I hope you enjoyed it. I haven’t done these mystery posts in a while and they are so much fun I’ll do one soon too. xxx
Well, you have really got us going with this one Patty. Hmmmmm – too rough to be Thermacol or styrofoam balls, too tiny to be cheese but most probably raw tapiocaโฆI love your Macro Mondays x
