Looks like the tapioca pearls that I add to my crisps (apple or raspberry)
This is Sago.
While you are most likely referring to what is commonly called boba pearls.
They aren't the same, although they are often used interchangeably due to similar appearances and textures.
Sago is derived from the pith of palm trees, while tapioca comes from the cassava root.
They are commonly substituted for one another in desserts.
