Growing up, we would have Sago Pudding quite often. On the health scales for desserts, it’s not too bad. It’s made mainly from Sago pearls, milk and eggs. The sugar content is fairly low and with the addition of fresh fruit, made it a good choice for a family who ate dessert regularly.<\/p>\n

\"Sago<\/p>\n

When we moved to America, I discovered that Sago pearls cannot be found easily. Tapioca is on the shelves – mainly in the instant version – but not Sago. Imagine my joy when I went looking in an Indian grocery store, only to stumble upon a bag of Sago!<\/p>\n

\"Sago<\/p>\n

The truth is, this recipe can be made with either sago or tapioca. Sago pearls are often larger than tapioca (although they can vary in sizes) and come from a different plant. Sago comes from the Sago Palm while tapioca comes from the Cassava or Manioc. When using Sago, use 1\/2 cup. When using tapioca, use just 1\/4 cup.<\/p>\n
