Ingredients and Benefits

Our Fruit Passion Pearls embody the successful marriage of culinary innovation and authentic fruity flavor. Each translucent sphere contains a liquid core with an intense tropical taste—ready to release its aromas with the very first bite.

🥭 Passion Fruit Concentrate : At the heart of each pearl is a 2.8% passion fruit syrup, made from juice based on a 40% concentrate. This concentration ensures exceptional aromatic intensity that captures the very essence of maracujá: that bright, sparkling tang and so recognizable tropical sweetness. A natural aroma enhances the flavor profile for an optimal sensory experience.

🌊 The Spherical Shell : The magic happens thanks to spherification, a technique borrowed from molecular gastronomy by top chefs. This ultra-fine membrane is made ofsodium alginate (marine algae extract), of calcium lactate and of calcium chloride. These natural gelling agents create a delicate plant-based barrier that protects the liquid until the moment of tasting. It’s this light resistance followed by the liquid burst that makes the popping boba experience so unique.

☀️ Naturally Golden Glaze : Our pearls showcase their signature yellow-orange hue thanks to beta-carotene, a 100% naturally sourced pigment found in particular in carrots. We refuse synthetic colorants, choosing instead this natural approach that delivers a sunny look—perfectly suited to tropical creations.

💧 The Conservation Syrup The pearls rest in a water-and-glucose blend that preserves their freshness and maintains their optimal texture until the moment you enjoy them. This lightly sweet liquid can also be used to subtly flavor your drinks.

🔬 Natural stabilizers To achieve the ideal texture, we also use de la xanthan gum and de la guar gum (thickeners of plant origin), as well as a little CMC (carboxymethylcellulose) to stabilize everything. The potassium sorbate ensures the product is preserved for 18 months before opening. Acidity regulators (citric acid and lactic acid) adjust the pH to 3.82, guaranteeing microbiological stability.

Our quality commitment? Pearls made in France, subject to monthly microbiological controls in an approved laboratory, and pasteurized according to the strictest HACCP standards. Each jar contains about 300g of drained pearls (out of a total of 450g with the syrup), enough to create 15 to 20 delicious recipes.

Ingredients: Water, glucose, passion fruit syrup 2.8% (fruit juice made from concentrate 40%, citric acid), flavoring, acidity regulator: lactic acid, gelling agents 1.9%: sodium alginate, calcium lactate, calcium chloride, CMC, thickeners: xanthan gum, guar gum, preservative: potassium sorbate, coloring: beta-carotene.

Net weight: 450g | Net drained weight: 300g

Storage: Before opening, store your jar at room temperature (less than 30°C), in a dry place and away from direct light. Do not freeze. After opening, refrigerate between +2°C and +5°C and consume within 14 days. Make sure the pearls remain submerged in their preserving liquid.

Preparation tips

Making your passion fruit pearl creations turns out to be remarkably simple. Here are our signature recipes to unleash all their tropical potential.

🧋 The Tropical Green Tea: Our signature (the must-have recipe)

  1. Brew 20 cl of green tea (jasmine or sencha, preferably) for 3 minutes, then let it cool completely
  2. Add 3 tablespoons of passion fruit pearls to the bottom of a large glass
  3. Pour in 1 teaspoon of honey or agave syrup, and the juice ofhalf a lime freshly squeezed
  4. Gently pour in the cooled green tea
  5. Top with 10 cl coconut milk to bring a creamy, tropical smoothness
  6. Add a few ice cubes and some fresh mint leaves
  7. Stir with a bubble tea straw and enjoy

💡 The secret to this recipe: Jasmine green tea brings its subtly vegetal, delicately scented character, while passion fruit delivers its distinctive tropical tang. And coconut milk rounds everything out with its creamy sweetness. The perfect balance behind this drink’s popularity in the best bubble tea spots.

🥭 The Tropical Energy Bowl (for a vitamin wake-up call)

  1. In a blender, combine: one very ripe mango cut into pieces, half a frozen banana, 100 ml freshly squeezed orange juice, 50 ml almond milk, 1 tablespoon chia seeds and 4–5 ice cubes
  2. Blend until you get a smooth, creamy texture
  3. Pour the mixture into a bowl
  4. Arrange beautifully: 2 tablespoons of passion fruit pearls, a few kiwi slices, some fresh mango pieces, some crunchy granola, some coconut flakes and a few pumpkin seeds
  5. Enjoy immediately with a spoon

💡 The delicious tip: The tang of passion fruit pearls contrasts beautifully with the mango’s natural sweetness. Each pearl burst wakes up your taste buds and creates an alternating play of flavors that makes this bowl particularly addictive.

🍹 The Mocktail "Sunset Paradise" (for your exceptional moments)

  1. In a shaker, mix: 6 cl pineapple juice, 4 cl mango juice, 2 cl of fresh lime juice, a dash of cane syrup and a generous handful of ice cubes
  2. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds
  3. At the bottom of an elegant glass, add 2 tablespoons of passion fruit pearls
  4. Strain the mixture and pour it gently over the pearls
  5. Top with 5 cl of sparkling water to bring a refreshing sparkle
  6. Decorate with a slice of pineapple, with a round passion fruit if available, and a sprig of rosemary for the finishing touch
  7. Serve with a lovely straw and a decorative umbrella

💡 Cocktail version: For an alcoholic twist, add 4 cl of white agricultural rum or 3 cl of vanilla vodka before shaking. The pearls that burst in your mouth create a remarkable sensory experience that will pleasantly surprise your guests.

🍰 Passion Fruit Heart-Melting Cupcakes (to impress your guests)

Using the pearls isn’t limited to drinks. Here’s how to incorporate them into baking:

  1. Prepare your favorite vanilla cupcake batter
  2. Fill your molds about two-thirds full
  3. Before baking, add 4–5 passion fruit pearls to the center of each cupcake (they’ll create a surprise melting heart)
  4. Bake according to your recipe and let cool completely
  5. Make a creamy vanilla cream cheese frosting
  6. Top each cupcake with 2–3 passion fruit pearls and finely grated lime zest finement râpé

The result? An elegant cupcake with a heart that bursts when you take a bite. The contrast between the tender batter and the tangy explosion is a real hit with every taste.

🥂 The Tropical Spritz (refined, festive aperitif)

For an elegant aperitif—effortlessly:

  1. In a flute or a wine glass, add 2 tablespoons of passion fruit pearls
  2. Pour in 3 cl passion fruit syrup (you can use the syrup from the jar)
  3. Pour in 6 cl of prosecco or very chilled sparkling wine
  4. Gently top up with 3 cl sparkling water
  5. Finish with a spiral of lemon zest and a Thai basil leaf

🏝️ When tropical tang meets French excellence

A golden pearl that crackles with every bite, a sensory journey to the tropics

The acidity that awakens, the sweetness that caresses you all year round

Passion fruit is unlike any other. Its distinctive, almost piquant tang, followed by tropical sweetness, creates a taste signature that’s instantly recognizable. Our pearls capture this complex character in a micro-explosion that awakens your taste buds with every bite. It’s like biting into a fruit freshly picked in the sunshine of the tropics.

Instantly enhance your creations

These pearls bring real added value to many preparations: bubble tea, iced teas, smoothie bowls, desserts, cocktails, and mocktails. They help turn a simple recipe into a visually stunning creation with a memorable flavor—without making the preparation any more complicated. A smart choice for both individuals and professionals looking to stand out.

Ready to use, no preparation needed

Unlike traditional tapioca pearls, these passion fruit pearls require no pre-cooking or handling. Use them directly after opening to save a considerable amount of time, while enjoying perfectly consistent results every time.

A naturally bright, luminous aesthetic

Their golden hue and shiny texture immediately add visual depth to drinks and desserts. They enhance presentation, boost the appeal of your creations, and meet today’s expectations for culinary aesthetics and visual content.

Controlled quality, guaranteed traceability

These pearls are made in France to a strict specification. Each batch undergoes regular microbiological tests in an approved laboratory, and pasteurization is carried out in line with HACCP standards. Their naturally golden color comes from the use of naturally sourced beta-carotene, with no artificial colorings.

An inclusive approach

These pearls are suitable for vegan and halal diets. They are guaranteed to be gluten-free, lactose-free, non-GMO, and free from major allergens, ensuring peace of mind in all consumption situations.

🥭 The challenge of the most complex fruit

Passion Fruit Pearls are much more than a simple topping for bubble tea: they embody a true technical and taste challenge.

Passion fruit is a bit temperamental. Unlike strawberry or mango, which deliver a generous, predictable sweetness, maracuja plays with contrasts. Its bright acidity can take over, its sweetness can fade, and capturing that fragile balance in a pearl just a few millimeters wide is an achievement in itself.

For months, we tested different ratios. Too much concentrate? The acidity became aggressive. Not enough? We lost the tropical signature that makes the fruit so enchanting. We had to find the perfect balance.

Color presented another challenge. Fresh passion fruit shows a vibrant golden-orange hue that instantly brings the tropics to mind. Natural beta-carotene gives this sun-kissed golden shade that varies slightly from batch to batch—proof that we work with living ingredients, not standardized products.

Because we believe that the complexity of an exceptional fruit deserves an equally exceptional execution. 💫

Learn more about our passion pearls

What exactly are Passion Fruit Fruit Pearls?

The Passion Fruit Fruit Pearls are small translucent spheres of about 0.7 to 1 cm in diameter that hold a liquid center with an intense tropical flavor. Also known as popping boba or sparkling pearls, they release their tangy juice instantly the moment you bite into them.

Inspired by the tradition of Taiwanese bubble tea and perfected through molecular gastronomy techniques, our pearls are made in France. Their golden color comes from natural beta-carotene, and they contain a syrup crafted with 40% of concentrated passion fruit juice. A premium version designed for discerning at-home use. 🥭

Why choose fruit pearls instead of classic tapioca?

The difference is radical. The tapioca pearls are traditional: they’re tender, neutral in flavor, and need 30 good minutes of cooking before they’re ready to use. You’ll need to keep an eye on the pot, rinse them in cold water, then coat them with sugar to give them at least a touch of flavor.

Our passion pearls completely change the experience: a crunchy texture that bursts, a powerfully fruity and tangy flavor, and above all, they are ready to use right away. You open the jar, you pour, and that’s it. As a bonus, they’re naturally vegan, gluten-free and halal, unlike tapioca, which often calls for additives. 💥

Does it really taste like fresh passion fruit?

The flavor is intensely fruity, with a clearly defined strawberry flavor that releases instantly in the mouth.

The lightly crunchy membrane contrasts with the liquid center, making the experience both fun and indulgent. They’re a real upgrade to bubble tea, balancing the tea or milk’s sweetness with a burst of fruity flavor. 😋

Where does this lovely golden color come from?

This radiant yellow-orange shade comes from the beta-carotene, a 100% natural pigment found in particular in carrots and many vegetables. No synthetic coloring, such as tartrazine (E102), which is unfortunately used in many imported pearls.

Beta-carotene gives this sunny color that instantly brings to mind the tropics. It may vary slightly from one batch to another depending on the ingredients used—an unmistakable sign that we work with natural ingredients rather than ultra-standardized products. 🌈

How to use them in homemade bubble tea?

Nothing could be simpler. Prepare your base of bubble tea (green tea, black tea, or a creamy latte-style version—whatever you’re in the mood for). If you like it a little sweeter, add a touch of sweetener, then pour in 2 to 3 tablespoons of pearls directly into the bottom of your glass.

The pearls are ready to use : no cooking, no soaking, no prep. Add your ice cubes, pour in your drink, mix with a bubble tea straw XXL, and enjoy. You can also mix them into smoothies, mocktails, yogurts, or over ice cream. All in under a minute. 🧋

Which drink pairs best with passion fruit?

Our favorite pairing? Green tea + coconut milk + passion fruit pearls. The leafy, lightly bitter notes of green tea contrast beautifully with the tropical tang of the pearls, while the coconut milk adds a silky creaminess that brings everything together in perfect harmony.

But the passion fruit is wonderfully versatile: it elevates black tea for more character, pairs beautifully with mango or pineapple juice for a 100% tropical twist, or even with prosecco for a festive aperitif. Let your creativity speak! ☕🥥

Can you really use them in baking?

Absolutely—and the results are spectacular! We tested them in a pavlova (where they create a tangy, gooey surprise heart), in cheesecakes (as decoration and in the prep), in verrines coconut-milk rice pudding, and even at the center of vanilla cupcakes for a guaranteed wow effect.

The secret: add them at the very last moment to cold preparations to preserve their satisfying crunch. In cakes, place them in the middle of the batter just before baking to create a surprise core that bursts with every bite. Your guests won’t believe it. 🍰✨

Are the pearls really 100% vegan and free from allergens?

Total guarantee. Our pearls are certified vegan AND halal, which involves strict checks at every stage. The texture comes from sodium alginate (from marine seaweed extract) and plant-based gums—absolutely no animal gelatin.

They’re also gluten-free, lactose-free, soy-free, and nut-free and free from the 14 major allergens. Even the color comes from plant-based beta-carotene. You can serve them to absolutely everyone without having to check the ingredients 50 times. Inclusive, really. 🌱✅

How many bubble teas can I make with one jar?

A jar of 450g contains 300g of drained pearls, which lets you make between 15 and 20 bubble teas depending on how generous you are. If you add 2 tablespoons per glass, you’ll be closer to 20. If you add 3 (our recommendation for true food lovers), you’ll come out closer to 15.

Do the math: under €1 per homemade bubble tea versus €6–8 in a café. In just a few weeks, the jar pays for itself—and you’ve discovered the joy of creating your own recipes. 💰

How should you store them after opening?

After opening, place the jar in the refrigerator between +2°C and +5°C and consume within the 14 days. The essential tip: make sure the pearls stay perfectly submerged in their preserving liquid—this helps maintain their wonderfully crisp, optimal texture.

Before opening, simply store the jar at room temperature (below 30°C), in a cupboard away from direct sunlight and moisture. Stored this way, they keep 18 months without any worries. And trust us—once you have a jar in your fridge, you’ll find a thousand occasions to add them everywhere. 🧊

At what age can children eat it?

We recommend from at least 4 years old, always under adult supervision. This isn’t about the ingredients (they’re perfectly healthy), but about texture: the pearls are slippery and their liquid center may pose a choking risk for very young children.

After 5–6 years, it’s generally perfect, but stay attentive the first few times. Explain the idea, show them how to chew properly, and make sure they take the time to bite through. After that, they’ll love the playful side—guaranteed! 👶
