About Sabudana
Sabudana, also known as tapioca pearls, is a versatile ingredient derived from the starch of cassava root. Widely used in Indian cuisine, it is a staple during fasting periods due to its quick-digesting carbohydrate content, which provides instant energy. Commonly featured in dishes like sabudana khichdi, kheer, and vadas, it has a neutral flavor that easily absorbs seasonings. Nutritionally, sabudana is rich in carbohydrates but low in protein, fiber, and other essential nutrients, making it an energy-dense food rather than a balanced one. While it’s gluten-free and easy on the stomach, its high-calorie content and lack of micronutrients mean it should be consumed in moderation, particularly for individuals monitoring blood sugar or weight. Pairing sabudana with nutritious ingredients like vegetables, nuts, or yogurt can improve its overall health profile and create a more balanced meal.
