Sago Seed Medium (Tapioca) – Versatile Sabudana for Indian Cooking

Sago Seed Medium (Tapioca) consists of small, round tapioca pearls commonly known as sabudana, sago or javvarisi. When soaked and cooked, the pearls become soft, translucent and slightly chewy, making them a versatile ingredient for traditional sweet and savoury recipes.

Medium sago is especially popular in Indian and South Asian cooking, where it is used in classic dishes including sabudana khichdi, sabudana vada, kheer and payasam. It is also used to prepare papads, fritters, snacks and other regional specialities. In Tamil cuisine, tapioca pearls are known as javvarisi, while sabudana is a common Hindi name.
