While often praised as a simple, gluten-free carbohydrate source, excessive consumption of sago can lead to digestive problems, weight gain, and blood sugar spikes due to its high starch content and low fiber. Proper preparation and moderation are key to avoiding these issues.

Sago, or sabudana, is a gluten-free starch primarily composed of carbohydrates, with a 100g serving providing over 350 calories and 80g of carbs. This makes it an excellent source of quick energy but raises an important question: is it good to eat sago every day, and is its nutrient profile suitable for daily intake?
