Javvarisi, also known as sago, is a versatile starchy product extracted from the tropical palm plant. It comes in the form of small, white pearls that are commonly used in Indian cuisine, especially in desserts, snacks, and fasting recipes. Javvarisi has a neutral taste, making it an excellent base to absorb the flavors of other ingredients. When cooked, the pearls become translucent and have a soft, chewy texture. Popular in dishes like payasam, vada, or as a thickening agent in soups, it’s also gluten-free, making it suitable for various dietary needs. Perfect for light, easily digestible meals!
