About Sago pearls

Sago pearls are small, starchy spheres made from the starch extracted from sago palms. Originating in Southeast Asian and Pacific cuisines, they are a staple in many traditional dishes and desserts, such as puddings and dumplings. Sago pearls are naturally gluten-free and offer a source of carbohydrates, making them a quick energy provider. However, their nutritional profile is relatively limited, lacking significant protein, fiber, vitamins, or minerals. They are often consumed in refined forms and paired with sweet ingredients, which can lead to higher sugar intake. Despite this, sago pearls can fit into a balanced diet when enjoyed in moderation. Their neutral flavor makes them versatile for both savory and sweet applications, and they are commonly used as a textural element in dishes. Popular worldwide, sago pearls represent a unique connection to traditional culinary practices while offering a simple carbohydrate option for energy replenishment.
