Sago Flour

Cultural Context

Sago flour, derived from the sago palm, is a staple in Papua New Guinea and other tropical regions. Traditionally, it has been used for centuries as a primary source of carbohydrates, often enjoyed in various forms like puddings and breads. In contemporary cuisine, sago flour is celebrated for its versatility and is increasingly popular in gluten-free diets around the world, adapting to both sweet and savory dishes.
