What is sago made of?

Sago is made of cassava flour, wheat starch and corn flour, and some are made of starch extracted from palm plants. It is a kind of processed rice shaped like pearls.

The most traditional sago was originally extracted from the pith of a coconut tree called Xigu near Malaysia Islands, because the longest life of this coconut tree is about 20 years, and it will die after flowering, and the locals will cut it down before it dies, and before it blooms, the trunk contains a lot of starch.

So you can cut it down and split it in half, scrape off the starch in the middle of the trunk with a blade, and then soak it in clear water. After the starch is precipitated, you can pour out the clear water, dry the starch and grind it into powder, and finally you can process it into sago like rice.

Simi is big and small, and what is often seen in the market is the slightly smaller one. In fact, sago is also a very common raw material, but people often don't think it is sago. For example, the "pearl" in bubble tea is also a kind of sago (pink is also useful).

There are also various flavors of "pearls", such as chocolate or various fruit flavors, all because of the addition of other things.

Simi makes the kitchen more romantic. Put a cup of sago dew in a red wine glass, and sit on the swing chair on the balcony with your lover in the warm sunny afternoon in winter to share the sweetness. Or at dinner, light pink candles on the iron candlestick and have a chicken sago porridge with your family, which is nutritious and considerate.
