Your Questions About Sago Seeds

1. What exactly are sago seeds?

Sago seeds (sabudana) are small white pearls made from tapioca starch extracted from cassava root. They're called "seeds" but they're actually processed starch formed into small balls.

2. Are sago and tapioca the same thing?

Basically, yes. In Dubai and most places, what's sold as "sago" is actually tapioca pearls. True sago comes from sago palm, but tapioca sago is more common and works the same way.

3. How do I cook sago seeds properly?

Soak them in water for 4-5 hours (they'll swell up). Drain well. Then cook according to your recipe - khichdi, pudding, or whatever you're making. Don't oversoak or they'll turn mushy.

4. Why do my sago seeds stick together?

You probably didn't drain them well enough after soaking, or they got too wet. After soaking, drain completely and let them dry a bit. Fluff them with your fingers before cooking.

5. Can I eat sago during fasting?

Yes! Sago is one of the most popular fasting foods in Hindu traditions, especially during Navratri. It's considered pure and easy to digest, which is why it's allowed during religious fasts.

6. Is sago good for weight loss?

Not really. Sago is mostly carbs and quite high in calories. It's fine as part of a balanced diet, but it's not specifically a weight-loss food. The good part is it keeps you full for a while.

7. Can diabetics eat sago seeds?

Diabetics should be careful with sago because it has a high glycemic index - it can spike blood sugar quickly. If you're diabetic, talk to your doctor and eat it in small portions only.

8. How long can I store sago seeds?

In an airtight container in a cool, dry place, sago stays good for 12-18 months easily. Just keep it away from moisture and it'll last.

9. Can babies eat sago?

Yes, sago is often given to babies (usually after 8-10 months) because it's easy to digest. Make a simple sago porridge with milk. But check with your pediatrician first.

10. What's the difference between small and large sago pearls?

Small pearls (like ours) cook faster and are better for khichdi and most Indian dishes. Large pearls are used more for bubble tea and take longer to cook.

11. Why is my sabudana khichdi mushy?

You probably soaked it too long or used too much water. Soak for exactly 4-5 hours, drain completely, and use minimal water while cooking. It should be fluffy, not sticky.

12. Where can I buy sago seeds in Dubai?

You can find sago seeds in most Indian grocery stores, large supermarkets like Lulu and Carrefour, and online stores. We deliver throughout Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah.
