The Truth About Taro Bubble Tea Powder: What's Really in It?

When it comes to taro bubble teas, many of us assume that the purple color is simply a natural part of the root itself. However, this isn't entirely accurate. The truth is that most manufacturers or processors use purple food coloring in their taro powders.

If you cut open a typical taro root, you'll find that it's actually off-white inside with specs of purple. So why does taro tea turn out to be purple? It's all because of the way taro powder is processed with food coloring.

If you're looking for a non-dairy taro bubble tea option, consider opting for oat milk, almond milk, or any other non-dairy milk alternative. Many times, if you don't opt-out for non-dairy milk, your taro bubble tea will come with 2% milk instead.

Taro bubble tea can have dairy only if you choose to add creamer or milk that is considered dairy. On the other hand, if you grind taro root fresh and manually, you can learn more about taro root by clicking here.
