Sago (uncooked)

Sago is a starch extracted from the pith of tropical palm trees, most commonly sold as small, round pearls similar in appearance to tapioca pearls. It is cooked into puddings and desserts across South and Southeast Asian cooking, becoming translucent and gelatinous once fully cooked. It requires soaking or simmering to soften from its hard, dry state.

Measured before cooking, while the ingredient hasn't yet absorbed water or changed texture.
