Sago starch is extracted from the pith of Metroxylon sagu by crushing, washing, soaking, filtering, settling, and low‑temperature drying.
Origin: Melanesian societies (centuries) — Melanesia
See full technique reference →The process relies on the mechanical disruption of fibrous tissue to release starch granules, which are then separated by aqueous washing and gravity settling. The granules swell at ambient temperature and remain stable until heated to 70–80 °C, where they gelatinize to form translucent, high‑yield carbohydrate products.
