🛍 Product Information :
Sago, also known as sago or sago, is an edible starch made from the carbohydrates stored in the trunks of several palm trees. It primarily comes from the sago palm, particularly the sago palm, native to the Indonesian archipelago, as well as the sugar palm and the sugar palm. South American sago is produced from the sago palm and the coconut palm.
Sago Palm
Sago palms grow in low-lying swamps, typically reaching 9 meters tall and having thick trunks. After 15 years, they mature into a spike, with the stem's pith filled with starch. As the fruit forms and ripens, it absorbs the starch, hollowing the stem. The tree dies when the fruit ripens. Cultivated sago palms are cut off when the spike appears, and the starchy pith is removed from the trunk and ground into a powder. The powder is then kneaded over a filter with water to remove the wood fibers, and washed several times to produce sago flour, which is consumed locally.
Sago exported is mixed with water to form a paste, then rubbed through a sieve to form granules. Depending on the size of the granules, it is classified as pearl sago or pellet sago.
Cycad sago
Sago is primarily made from the starchy pith extracted from the roots, stems, and leaves of the sago cycad, ground into a powder, and then soaked, pounded, and sun-dried.
However, cycads contain neurotoxins, cycasin and β-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA). Sago must be carefully rinsed repeatedly to remove the toxins, cooked, and dried to make it. Cycad seeds, however, remain highly toxic even after repeated rinsing, making them unsuitable for processing.

Uses
Sago is almost pure starch, containing 88% carbohydrates, 0.5% protein, a small amount of fat, and trace amounts of B vitamins.
In the Pacific Southwest, sago is a staple food, with its grits used in soups, cakes, and puddings. Around the world, it is primarily used to make puddings or sauce thickeners.
Sago is a sweet dessert sold in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, mainland China, Vietnam, and other regions. Originally made with coconut milk or taro, it has evolved to include new flavors like pumpkin, cantaloupe, orange, red dates, mango, watermelon, dragon fruit, sweet potato, and red bean.
The basic ingredients for sago are sago, fresh milk (or evaporated milk), coconut milk, and sugar. Fruit pieces can be added to suit your taste.
