Yes, the instant boba packs included in our at home boba tea kits are gluten-free. We make our boba using fish collagen and tapioca starch base. Tapioca starch is naturally gluten free.

Our collagen boba can be added to a variety of beverages. We recommend adding our brown sugar collagen coffee, black teas, oolong teas, smoothies, protein shakes, and blended drinks. Our collagen boba can also be enjoyed on its own or as a topping for shaved ice, icecream, or your favorite dessert. We recommended using our white sugar collagen boba for drinks that are lighter in flavor, such as floral teas or green teas as to not overpower the flavor of the drink with the malty flavor from the brown sugar syrup.

While we recommend using a microwave to prepare an instant boba pack for the most convenient and quick preparation method, Jiffy boba’s instant boba packs can also be prepared on the stovetop.

Some customers even prefer the taste of Jiffy Boba’s collagen boba prepared using the stovetop method!

How to Prepare Instant Boba using a Stove:

1. Bring water to a hard boil. 
2. Remove boba from plastic packaging and add to boiling water, cooking for 2-3 minutes.
3. Strain boba in a colander and rinse under cold water. Boba is now ready to be added to your beverage or enjoyed on its own.

No, our collagen boba uses tapioca starch and marine collagen. It is more similar in texture to the chewy texture of tapioca pearls compared to the more crunchy, jelly-like texture of crystal boba, also known as white pearls, konjac pearls, and agar boba.
