Magical Coconut Tree

Magical Coconut Tree

Speaking of India, everyone will think that this is a "magic" country, Indians have their own open-up skills, such as street chefs, oil pan fried fish, Indian trains full of people inside and outside, and all kinds of interesting Unexpected Indian cuisine, so in the eyes of many people, things in India always open their eyes and refresh the three views.

In addition, there is a kind of “magical” coconut tree in India. Everyone knows that coconut trees are coconuts, but this “coconut tree” does not produce coconut, but produces “rice”. Is it a bit unbelievable to treat it as a staple food? In fact, this tree is not a common coconut tree, but a sago palm tree, belonging to the palm family.

This sago palm tree is named after a coconut tree and is also a tropical plant, so you can see a lot in India. In India, people will cut down the unflowered sago palm tree, take the trunk, and remove the outer skin, then you can see the white stem, which is rich in starch, so the Indians use it to make the staple food.

When the sago palm tree is cut down, it can be processed. Use a piece of nailed wood to rub back and forth on the stem, just like sawing wood, and the stem becomes slag, then soak the slag. In the water, the starch is washed out and then removed, and then precipitated, which becomes starch. Finally, it is processed into the "rice" called small particles, which is the sago that everyone often eats.

It turns out that the "rice" of India is made of sago palm tree. It is no wonder that it is called sago. It is really eye-opening for the locals to eat and eat when they are cooked. But in some places it is different. People like to make sago desserts, such as coconut sago, papaya, sago, etc., healthy and delicious. I don't know what you think about this.
