What is Salem sago and why is it unique? | The Hindu

Salem, a city known for its raw silk and malgova mango, gets yet another recognition for its 'sago' also known as Javvarisi in Tamil Nadu
The Salem Starch and Sago Manufacturers Service Industrial Cooperative Society Ltd (popularly called as SAGOSERVE) received Geographical indication tag or GI tag for Salem sago on August 27th, 2023.
Sago, derived from raw tapiocas, is in the form of small hard globules or pearls and is pearl white in colour.
Tapioca is a major horticulture crop cultivated on nearly 3 lakh hectares in the State, producing 60 lakhs tonnes of the crop.
Sago was produced first in Salem District, which is the main centre for sago production in the country, on a cottage scale basis.

Is it sabudana??🤔

[@anniyan25]

Initially sago is made from sago palm trees. During second world war import of sago perls is stopped by british. Salem people invented new way of manufacturing sago from tapioca. They sold this in the market as sago.😊. That is why this name. It is not really a sago. Source. Sago association of salem.
