Florence in Indiana, yes, seed tapioca and tapioca pearl are one in the
same.
You can buy tapioca pearl (or tapioca seed as some would call it) and palm sugar
from any Asian food markets or stores, if you are not in Asia. If you cannot
find fresh screwpine leaves, you can buy the pandan essence in a bottle.
Tapioca Pudding

MIX milk, sugar, tapioca and egg in medium saucepan. Let stand 5 min. COOK on
