Do you know where I can get REAL sago?! 🧋
In India.
We in Pakistan have similar thing called sagu-dana. It is readily available here. We feed it to anyone having stomach digestion issues😭
How is the pin comment published 13 hours ago but the video was only published one hour ago
Indian or south asian stores have them it's called sagoo Dana or something similar in bengali.
We have it here in Papua New Guinea, it's always available in the grocery stores. Though i tasted it only once, i think it was pure sago/seygo cooked like a thick porridge and it was a bit sour and not much taste, definitely did not like that 😅 felt like eating craft paste 😅😅😅 i admit i didn't know how to eat it, they just told me to mix/eat it with all the other food i was eating 🤷🏽♀️
In urdu, we call it sagoo dana which translates to sago seed and it’s cooked with milk and sugar for children because it’s so soft. I loved eating it as a child!
yess I was searching for this!! my mom would cook sagoo dana and as a kid i would eat it with mangos and seviya
One of my favorites things to eat as a child.
Sabu dana in Bengali
Same in odisha
Sabu dana in Maharashtra
Fun fact and info-dump because my HYPERFIXATIONS✨ -
Sago pearls or (সাগু-দানা) sagu-dana isn't only derived from the saago palm (Metroxylon sagu). It's derived from the fresh new top growth of many other palm species; including betel palm, toddy palm, date palms etc. The young top part of the palm is called মাথি (mathi) in Bengali, the "mathi" is full of starch and sucrose. It can be also eaten raw like jicama. After they harvest the "mathi" they are cut and made into paste via a wet grinder (sil batta) and starch is extracted from it via dissolving it in water and letting the starch settle at the bottom. Pure starch is white in colour. But the "mathi" does oxidize and turn brown like most other starch rich foods (potato, yam etc.) Or the brown stuff iyou mentioned, it could've been palm jaggery.
Very informative. Being from India and even after eating this so many times since my childhood i didn't know most of the things you just mentioned. This will prove to be very informative for all those who are watching this short.
Wow I had no idea sagu dana is made from a palm.
I saw sagu dana in a supermarket the other day and it said tapioca pearl. So i was really confused.
@@labonihira Fascinating isn't it, humans have refined and developed the process to acquire starch from many different sources, some more common than others for obvious reasons.
But real saago it's more common in Asian countries, you can buy it loose like rice. All starch is more or less the same, it's a pure white, tasteless and odorless powder that is found in green plants. Plants use it as an energy store it can be compared to fat and blubber of animals.
@@fruityautism don't know where you're from judging by your bengali translation I assume you're a fellow bengali like me 😂
I ate sago all my life but i didn't know where it came from.
Thank you so much for educating us all
I love the milk sago dessert, eaten with papad/appalam to give that lovely sweet-salty contrast 😋
It is readily eaten at festivals and weddings in Mauritius by the Telugu (and probably other communities) after 7 curries on a banana leaf.
I’ve made this at home in England many times, but couldn’t say whether the sagu is from saago or tapioca? Since I purchase from a South Asian grocer (usually Tamil) I assume it is the sagu-Dana you mention here.
Fascinating, and tasty 😊
Sago is called sabu Dana in India we make it's spicy snack and sweet dessert. And gosh they r so tasty
oo sabudana khichadi ahh i just ate it today
We make it like kheer
Exactly! We eat it in every Ekadasi
@@sreeramk1449sagoo is from the tree basically cut down the tree then you pulverize the log (i know not exactly wood and it is palm but it looks like that) clean with water then dried so u get the powder. It is usually taken from forest mainly in Eastern Indonesia or plantations that can take years around 7 years if im not wrong. It can be white (if you clean it) and almost indistinguishable from tapioca flour. It behaves quite similarly as well. Traditionally it was eaten in many ways and not formed to that tiny balls (which used machine). Search papeda if you wanna know, u eat it by forming balls as well with three pronged chopstick. Though it can be burned to form pizza like (sagu sef) as well.
Omg i jad mt suspicions! I meed to check this out more haha
Sagoo! One that we could find in Indonesia as well! The difference is that here we already processing the sago and the shape are different. Some of them are shaped like a diamond, some are shaped like tiny balls called 'Mutiara' or pearl pink colored, and could be found in every traditional, Asian market.
my sister hate eating the mutiara pearls on es campur because it looked like snail eggs
In India we used to say the tapioca balls as "savvarisi"(savvu - slimy material, Arisi - Rice)
U can fine these in India
As because this is a quick food to make as breakfast (sago upma) here...
There are many ways to cook these
It can be sweet as well as spicy depends on how u cook it
That looks so yummy 😋😋
It's called Ginataan in Tagalog and Wetwet in Visaya. 😁
@@BerryCreamy-kc1mh oooh I’ll have to try it someday!!
You can literally buy real sago in our palengke here in the Philippines hahahahahaha you'll have to come visit
there's a brazilian dessert called sagu, which is made with mini tapioca pearls (like the ones in the video) cooked in wine or milk. i worder if there's any connection between sago and sagu because the names are so similar!! 😳
maybe they come from the same root word.... 🤔
I've never had sagu with milk, but I love it with wine
Wait, so boeber has been a lie this entire time, I thought I was eating sago.
My whole life has been a lie
My Indian friend makes boeber, except her mum gets a supply of sago from another friend across the country who grows it. However, sometimes they give me some and the ENTIRE dessert is milky white 🤦♀️
Wait I’m actually confused rn
Why did I think you were saying boba with an Aussie accent lmao
@@Hello-hello-hello456 LMFAO
@@AlohaGiraffe yeah, I've never heard that sago is brown before
Sago is quite common in my country. We make a lose consistency porridge out of it with coconut milk. We add palm sugar ( we call it Kithul Hakuru) to sweeten it. And also add few pods of cardamom and some raisins and cashews. It’s super delicious. And said to be beneficial to cool your body.
I’m Sri Lankan and it’s very easy to find sago. I find it at my local south Asian market in packs of 500g. When cooked it is chewy like tapioca.
Yeah here in Malaysia I don't know how to differentiate between sago and tapioca pearls, I think all sago in supermarkets are from tapioca lol. Maybe it would be easier to get real sago from Sarawak or Sabah (ie. Borneo) because that's where we get it from in Malaysia (afaik).
Actually sago is much more common in Malaysia than tapioca pearls at the store....like even kedai rm2 have it in store and it's even pre dyed if you want it
@@liliumkuronatasa3690 yeah sagu/sago is way more common and especially in Malay desserts, I never thought it was that rare outside of Malaysia
@@hanin3128 yeah... probably because we have more palm trees here maybe? Since sago is originally made from one type of palm (Metroxylon sagu also known as the true sagu palm) but it also can be made from different species of the palm family as well..
Maybe it's because sagu is native here in Malaysia and Indonesia that it's easier to get...
Since overseas they have to import it and all..
Plus tapioca is made out of cassava root or know in malay, ubi kayu and we have more dishes using cassava root as it is instead of y'know, making it into flour then making tapioca with it
@@liliumkuronatasa3690 don't @ me but pretty sure the small white sagu pearls in most local supermarkets are made from tapioca flour. 😭 They will usually label them as tapioca pearls. Dunno about the local unlabelled ones. I'm saying this because authentic sagu is labour intensive, and I don't think I've ever personally bought authentic dried sagu pearls from the sagu tree. Would love to know where you can buy them locally tho. I live in the Klang Valley.
@@thairinkhudr4259 actually sago has a very different texture than tapioca pearl...even before or after cooking...
Sago is not chewy at all like tapioca..
Plus all sago is made from palm trees..more specifically the inner part of the palm called the pith..or also known as the heart of palm..the very centre of the palm tree
Any type of palm tree can be used for sago but not all palm trees have to be the true sago palm
Like palm sugar can be made from the sap of the date palm(pokok kurma), nipa palm, sugar palm or the most kind i seen the coconut palm..
Heck you can also made palm sugar from the sago palm as well!
So yeah any palm tree will do in Malaysia
I’m in holiday in Thailand rn and I saw sago at breakfast so I obviously had to try it
I mixed it with some condensed milk and there were these SUPER sweet mangos but they were all wiped out so I’m gonna try it with mango tmrw
The texture was rlly good it was like chewy and refreshing
I never knew that real sago is brown? Wow??? Also I'm from Malaysia and we pronounce it as "saa-GOO" kind shook hearing "suh-GOH" 😂
We pronounce it like that in the ph. “Sa-goh”
@@rioberry4595 cool didn't know that!
"Say-go" is how i say it
Whatever she was saying makes me cringe since the way its spelled is sago
As a Malaysian we use sago or how we call it in Malay "Sagu" (Sa-goo) a lot in our desserts and also savory foods, it is very easy to find it here, I've only ever seen pink and white sago. One of our dessert that use lots of sago is called "Bubur Cha Cha"
In India, where I am from we call Sago - as - Sabudana, and we use it in both sweet and savory dishes. When I was a kid, my mum made us Sabudana kheer (which is like a sweet custardy dessert) i loved it....and when I grew up I learned that you can make plenty of things from Sago - like Sabudana khichdi, Sabudana cheela, Sabudana vada -these are all savory dishes more popular in western part of India , also u can buy Sago chips that you have to deep fry in oil and it will be a great snack.
I love sago. It has a different texture from tapioca pearls. Sago kinda just disintegrates when you gently bite it while tapioca is much firmer and bouncier.
my mom use sago flour (spelled sagu in Indonesian and the plant is native here) all the time and I didn't know they're pretty rare
In india this is quite a common dish, it's called sabu Dana and here sago isn't that hard to find but of course, it's in india.
YOOO literally watching this in the process of making tapioca for ginataan
love them both my mum recently brought rainbow coloured sago
I’ve had arguments at drink and dessert places because they’re calling these little clear, tapioca balls sago. Clearly they are not and they are tapioca they think because I’m Caucasian that I haven’t lived in Asia for more than half my life and don’t know any better and yes, so many places have said that directly to me.
sago in Malay called sagu mata ikan which translates to sagu fish eye because before its cooks its look like a fish eye
In Brazil is pretty common to find sagu (sago), there's even sagu popcorn
o sagu da gente é de mandioca igual ao boba, esse sago que ela falou é diferente é feita de uma palmeira
Love your videos!!
In Scandinavia, we have what we call "sago gryn" (sago corn,) that we could use for porrigde/pudding, but nowadays it is made of potato starch, as I believe the sago palm, that used to be the source for sago (one would use the heart of the sago palm, I think) was threatened with extinction, so left to itself... eta: now it's actually made of tapioka starch. Haven't eaten it in a little while, but used to make good pudding with milk, almost like the now more popular, and more nutrious, chia seeds...
You learn something new everyday. :^)
In india we call it saabudana and we usually cook that with milk and cardamoms with sugar during hindu fasting and we make its salty spicy version too
It’s not sugo it’s saaaago I think
Amazing❤️✨
In india we call this saabu daana In hindi .
We make dishes like saabu daana khicdi and kheer
In India its called Sabudana its used in savoury dish called Sabudana khichdi
Sago is called Sabu Dana in India and we make kheer of it or just eat it soaked in milk and sugar just like milk and cornflakes
You can get sago in a Chinese store near seewoo in scotland I think in kirkintilloch
i think u should really make butchi butchi, it is sticky rice ball too, but it is rolled in sesame seeds then fried! and u could stuff it too with munggo, cheese and ube!!! i will not stop commenting about butchi until you make it HAHAHAHAHA
We Indians usually use sago in a spice dish called sabudane ki Khichdi....
it tastes even better in you add yogurt on top..
In india its Sabudana ❤
In Brazil, sago is literally tapioca granules. And it's not a coincidence since cassava root was domesticated by Guarani people of Brazil and other South American countries.
In fact, american natives don't get the credit for all their contributions to modern life and cuisines.
In Philippines my mom said it would take 10 years and she grew up with a lot of them nearby the farm
In india.they are called sagu biyem in telugu
In Bangladesh 🇧🇩, sago is widely used. We use it to make thik rice soup like thing (payesh/পায়েস)added milk, sugar,nuts and other dry stuffs. It's very available here.
guys, brazilian recipe here
wine sagu
cook these balls with wine and sugar
I have lots of sago I put lemonade in it and it tastes soooooo good with desserts
For is in Bangladesh its way easier to find sago or as we pronounced it sagu... then tapioca pearls
Omg, that looks good. What is it called?
I'd love to see you make coffee jelly for dessert using that sago. Could be found in many Filipino fiestas!
Here we call it sagoo dana. Which means sagoo seeds and sagoo is pronounced as "sagu". The most popular thing we make with this is a desert called "Faluda"
In tamil it is called javvuarusi which means chewy rice
Ooohhh so that's what my mom use in her desserts lol..
Here in the south of Brazil we use Sago(Sagu in portuguese) and usually wine/grape juice to make a soupy but delicious dessert, i have some in my pantry waiting to be made 😂 oh how i miss eating Sagu de vinho
Sagu is very common in Brazil where I live!! But it's made from tapioca flour, I never knew this wasn't the actual thing
I hope you visit the Philippines!! Wanna meet you in person 🫶🏻
i literally just bought some sago from seafood city here today in california!
In India we eat soaked sago with milk and banana. Its hella tasty 😋
We have sago pudding in South Africa, it's an old dish where you usually follow your grandmother's recipe
In India 😂😂🎉
Its sabudana
In Pakistan, we call it SGAOO DANA (meaning sagoo pearls or seeds). Its very healthy so its given mainly to children as baby food, and to ill and old people.
I believe sago was quite common in germany, at least my mom mentioned her mom cooking with it. I think you can still get it in stores here
lol in Brazil, sagu are these mini balls made of cassava...
In the middle east, we add water, sugar, saffron and rose water to sago, and its cooked the until the pearls are mostly disintegrated and the texture is thick and jammy
Love the flavor, but not a big fan of that texture
I dug up the Sago palm out of my yard years ago. Had no idea about this.
It’s actually called sabudana in India and we like eat this everyday like my mom is the one fasting but still the whole family eat’s it 😅
As somebody who’s allergic to Tapioca, i’d be interested to try sago purely simply because i can’t have boba and I’ve always wanted to try it🤷🏻♀️😂.
Substitute nata de coco (coconut gel) instead of tapioca pearls; it's healthier as it's natural
Finally!! Someone who pronounces it right. The Guyanese in me screams every time I hear it said wrong lol 🇬🇾😩🫶🏾🎉
I have sitting in my kitchen cabinet 😂
I love sago! I still eat it ! I love it more than boba
Am I the only kid that grew up calling these “Say-go” palms in Florida?????
Was confused when she called it sah-gou.
My local asian market sells it. They've had supply and demand issues lately tho.
In India we call it sagoo Or sabu Dana...
mom makes sgoo with coconut milk and sugar it's creamy and sweet and i love it 10/10
In Malaysia we call it sagu and it's everywhere you can find it literally everywhere
I did not know that, and I've eaten tapioca for YEARS (often sold as sago, but tapioca flour listed as the ingredient), i thought it was just a name for the little pearls!
Recently when I was eating faluda(rare south Asian drink/food) my brother said that he liked the pearls that are appereantly sago! Then since we like faluda so much my mother made it for us! So my dad went out to buy sago and then he came back he said why don't you make sago payesh? That was the time I discovered sago :D, it is made from milk and sugar (boiled), let me know if you want the recipe of faluda!
can I have the recipe? :)
@@humancarver Ofc! Here it is!..
•first boil milk
•boil it until it kinda floats up
•add sugar and wait 10-15 minutes
•add sago and wait a few minutes (after it is kinda clear)
•add some noodles (raw) and it is ready after it is jiggly and flexible (the noodles)
I remember my mom cooking it this way but it might be kinda wrong so it's a safer option to watch from yt!
You can eat it with ice cream, I prefer vanilla, and some jelly! Or you can eat it alone! I also know the recipe to jelly!(better if you make it at night)
•caremlize the sugar with water in a pot
•and let it cool in a fridge or a freezer (let it sit overnight)
It should become jelly,,
Hope it helps :)
In Pakistan sago which we called it 'sago dana' is abundant here
I love how she says sago!!!!!!!
Sago is available at any Indian grocery store.....it's called saboodana.....it's used extensively whenever Hindus are fasting. Hindu fasting is just changing the diet to cooling food.
Not sure when this was posted but we have sago in Walmart here in the states. So I'm sure you can order it online. Hope you see this.
My mom would buy sago and cook it the same way as milk with rice or "arroz con leche". They taste pretty similar, but I prefer tapioca pearls 🧋💕
We call it sabudana in India its so easy to get here every general store would have it
Shouts to Pailin!!
It's sabudana we make sweet dishes , crispy snacks with it in india🇮🇳 even when you feel sick we just boil it and eat it
All filipinos would think sago = tapioca pearls… So did I.
We call this shagu dana here in Bangladesh and it's pretty easy to find.
You can get sago in India we have sabudana (sago) khichdi like our breakfast
It's really common here in Maharashtra in India more popular then tapioca
Also a sweet dessert called sabudana khir or sago kheer is very common
Indonesia,papeda main ingredient is sago
I just want the bilo-bilo 😋😋😋
I love sago....but in Guyana we pronounce it as (say-go)
is it actually *that rare*?
*me finding sago in a random common asian shop.*
I think it's the same "chowari" that we use in payaasams (kheer) here at my place
My parents speak Urdu and they always call tapioca pearls and this sagoo daana probably cuz of how similar the 2 are to each other
Try island markets
In pakistan sago is very commonly available we call it "sago dana" which means "sago balls/pearls"
my parents are from Sri Lanka and for us we call it Sau pudding, and we make it with the tapioca/sago and juggery 😂coincidentally my mom’s actually making it right now
I have been eating sago my whole life. At one point I thought boba pearls and sago were same.
Im kind of surprised when u said it was quite rare to find, cause I always see it in the palengke or market here in the philippines ●_●
My mum used to make me sago a lot when I was a kid, but we used to call it fish eyes, because they kinda look like tiny fish eyes. I've only had sago once in the past few years though, because I just can't recreate it how my mother used to make it.
Yes I knew it.. Indians use Sago alot during festive season!
We Indians use sago in a homemade dessert called payasum
