Javvarisi (sago) is mostly used for fasting, a larger population is still unaware of what sago is and how it is made. It is full of starch and contains carbohydrates. It is collected from the spongy centre of tropical palm trees. The tapioca plant’s root is used to extract the starch; then, the starch is transformed into small, pearl-like spheres. This is how sago is made. Sago provides ample energy, it is gluten free and non-allergic, also it helps to prevent digestion issues.
