Sabudana or Indian Sago is extracted from Tapioca roots and is used in both food and for commercial purposes. Sabudana is a rich source of carbohydrates, proteins, vitamin K, calcium and potassium.

It is nutritious, light and easy to digest making it an ideal “baby food”. It is also suitable for people having the problem of indigestion. Regular consumption of Sabudana is beneficial for weight gain as it is rich in carbohydrates and contains high calories. It is naturally gluten-free which makes it a suitable replacement option for wheat-based products for people having wheat allergies.

Sabudana is generally eaten as Sabudana khichdi or kheer. It should be soaked in water or boiled before consumption. It is said that Sabudana porridge can be an effective and simple food to cool and balance body heat.

People suffering from diabetes should avoid eating Sabudana as it contains a high amount of starch and may cause a sudden rise in blood sugar levels.
