Is Sago The Same As Tapioca Pearls?
Sago and tapioca pearls have some similarities in appearance and texture, but they come from different sources. Sago is made from the pith of the sago palm tree, while tapioca is made from the starch extracted from the cassava root. Both are used in various dishes, but they cannot be used interchangeably in recipes that specifically call for one or the other.
