                                While dry tapioca starch, the primary ingredient, contains minimal sugar, boba balls gain their sweetness when cooked and soaked in sugar syrups. A single serving can contribute anywhere from 6.5 to over 30 grams of sugar, depending on the preparation method and serving size.
