About Sago
Sago is a starchy substance derived from the pith of tropical palm stems, primarily the sago palm. Widely used in Southeast Asian and Indian cuisines, it often appears in desserts, puddings, and as a thickening agent for soups or sauces. Sago is naturally gluten-free and low in protein, with its nutritional profile dominated by carbohydrates, making it a quick energy source. It contains moderate amounts of essential minerals like calcium, potassium, and iron, contributing to bone health and electrolyte balance. Its lack of fiber and protein means it should be complemented with nutrient-dense foods to ensure a balanced diet. While sago can be beneficial for people requiring easily digestible foods, its high carbohydrate content can lead to excessive calorie intake if consumed in large quantities. Typically prepared in dishes like tapioca pearl-based puddings, sago serves both as a versatile culinary ingredient and as a staple in various tropical regions.
