Do you have sugar-free products?

Do you sell fructose online?

We do not sell fructose on BossenStore.com because the shipping method would cause leakage. However, we do offer fructose for customers requesting shipping via store pick-up, local delivery, or trucking. For more information regarding purchase options, please click here.

What is the shelf life of your food products?

Shelf life of each Bossen product varies. You may find the shelf life on product packages. Below is a summary of each product category:

Bursting Boba: 18 months
Mini Mochi: 12 months
Tapioca Pearls: 6 months
Powder: 18 months
Syrup: 12 - 18 months
Jam: 15 months
Jelly: 12 months

How do I find and read expiration date?

We mark expiration date in two formats. One is as simple as MM/DD/YY, the other is a 5 digit code that requires some interpretation.

You can find the 5-digit code on the cap or the bottle/bag of our product. It includes one letter and four digits of numbers. (i.e. J2345) To decode, divide the code into three sections. The letter indicates the year. i.e. I = 2016 J = 2017 K = 2018. The first two numbers subtracting 20 indicate the month. i.e. 23 – 20 = 03 (March) The last two numbers subtracting 20 indicate the day. i.e. 45 - 20 = 25 (25th) For more information please read here.

How do I store and keep tapioca pearls?

Tapioca pearls are made mostly from starch. The nature of starch makes the pearls chewy and fun, but at the same time very sensitive to humidity and temperature. We have put together tips here for you to keep the best quality of the bobas before, during, and after cooking.
