Thai Sago Seeds Medium – Heera, 500g

Sago, also known as Sabudana or Tapioca, is derived from Cassava or Tapioca root by extracting the milk from it, forming globules and drying them in sun. These beautiful, white pearls are very nutritious and become soft and spongy when cooked. But care needs to be taken to avoid over-cooking them as that will make it a sticky mass.
