Sago or sabudana is a food which is full of energy and carbohydrates. It is removed from the center of sago palm stems in the form of starch. It is also identified as tapioca pearls. It is enormously low in fat but also low in protein. It is useful as a replacement in binding the dishes or making them thick.

Benefits:

Sabudana is nearly pure carbohydrate and has very little protein, vitamins and minerals. It can be enriched by the addition of other healthy food options like groundnuts, vegetables, milk etc.

How To Use:

When cooked, sabudana turns from opaque white colour to translucent, and becomes soft and spongy. This makes it suitable for dishes like kheer, khichdi and vada too.
