Pearl Sago

Pearl Sago is a fine, white starch extracted from the cassava (manioc) root and used widely in Latin American, African and Asian cuisines for thickening, baking and making pearls or flatbreads. It is prized for a neutral taste and a smooth, glossy texture when cooked. Variants include fermented or 'soured' tapioca used in specific traditional recipes. As a refined starch, Pearl Sago is primarily carbohydrate and provides about 88g of carbohydrate per 100g, with virtually no protein, fiber or fat. It contains only small amounts of minerals such as iron and calcium compared with whole-food alternatives. Nutritionally, this ingredient is best viewed as a high-energy, low-satiety bulking or thickening agent rather than a source of protein, fiber or micronutrients; choosing whole-grain flours or other gluten-free flours with more fiber can increase nutritional value when used interchangeably in recipes.Read more
